I have same problems.  Seems like the values are reported incorrectly, 
especially if you are shooting through a tree or some obstruction.

Again....YUP, same here.   I think the noise values appear every now and
then but they are normally reported at -95.  I really doubt that is the
noise level.   I have my cards flashed with 1.56 or something.  I downloaded
it from Demarc or Mikrotik, I don't remember which.

I am also using the engenius cards.
