>From my dead brain the LQ is nothing more than a percentage repsentation of the signal/noise ratio.
Saying your connected at 1mbit/sec, the sb radio's have something like a -92dBm receive level. 40% of -92 = -36.8 dBi (-92) - (-36.8)dBi = -55.2dBi on your RSSI 70% LQ means that the noise is somewhere around -80.96dBi The closer the noise level get's to -55.2 dBi, the closer to 0% it gets to. I'm not totally sure on this.. but it's something like this.. I've been up all night working on stuff and I'm very tired right now.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andrew Watkins Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2003 4:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] RSSI and LQ I have been running some tests at ranges between .5km and 3km At .5km the RSSI stays consistent at 100% and LQ is 98%. At 3km the RSSI stays consistent at 40% but LQ fluctuates between 0% and 70%. I am using the following: aPPOTotal ----> aBOTotal aPPOTotal ----> aPPO c/w 9db MobileMark corner reflector As I am in the UK, the internal antenna on the Totals is 9db Any comments on why the LQ is so erratic?
