It turns out there's a built-in utility in my wireless driver that does
what netstumbler does. Here's the weird part -- of about 2 dozen signals
out there, the 10 next strongest to mine are ALL set to the SAME channel
as mine! (#1).
I can only guess here -- the default setting was "automatic". This
implies that the channels were being changed all the time, right? Maybe
the SB3 just doesn't like this "hunting" for a changed channel all the
time (especially if it changes DURING a transmission -- or would it not
happen that way? I have no idea).
Anyway, the signal is stronger despite others being on the same
channel. My laptop is more responsive too.
And now for the weirdest part....it SOUNDS better. The same stations
that used to have a slight digital "flanging" type of artifact don't
have it now. Imaging is better too. bits is bits?..hmmm
