We have mikrotik 200mW radios in the field and they seem to report 
everything correctly.
If the readings are right...
But you dont get the SNR of 1 unless the signal and noise are at the 
right levels.

I would like to hear from Karlnet on the subject as well.
Are the readings that the mikrotik cards put out correct?
Just curious.
