Interesting.  Not sure if I believe the readings.  The signal values
reported by the PRISM 2.5 radio in the AP are quite aways out from that
reported at the client. (Client SNR=11, AP=25, Client Signal=-78, AP=-59,
Client Noise=-92, AP=-84).  AP has a 14dB sectorial, and the client in this
case has a 24dB grid.

Thanks for the observation, Caleb.
