This takes a very rough estimation for the signal strength, that was calibrated using a Dektec DTA-2111 Gold RF generator and a Pixelview dib8076 stick. It estimates the signal strength using a linear equation where: - the max is -22.5 dBm, with returns 55953 - the min is -35.0 dBm, with returns 50110 With -22dBm, the signal strengh is returned as 65535. Unfortunately, the min strength generated with DTA-2111 is -35dBm. It should be noticed that approximating it by a linear equation is not right. I should probably be splitting it into 0.5 dB linear segments, in order to get a higher precision, just like it is done on mb86a20s, but that would force me to add some attenuators, in order to get dB levels below -35dBm, which is, btw, strong enough to get signal lock.
