 I would recommend listing the Rx Sensitivity at 1Mbps, since that is the lowest common denominator.  You can get a useable link at 1Mbps more often than you can get one at 11Mbps. -- DanFlett 

 

-Sounds reasonable to me, I was just going with what locfinder said ... is it in need of a change? The only thing I can see against such a change at this stage in the game is that all the nodes currently in the database would have rx sens' for 11, and therefore be made incorrect. I really don't feel like updating them all ;) While we're discussing, is there anything else anyone can think of adding to this system? --gummAY

+You know, I was thinking (scary thought) ... if people start usign these CardProfiles, and end up with valid tx power/rx sensitivities, along with an antenna in a locfinder interface, we could attempt approximate answers the question of 'how far will it go'. Perhaps in the style of (http://nuke.freenet-antennas.com/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=2&categories=Antennas A grid like this) or (http://www.rfshop.com.au/ant.htm the description on this page) -- [gummAY]
