hi..

i have a sending and receiving program in which the sender sends packets
and the receiver on receiving the packet measures the RSSI to get received
signal strength. i am subtracting 45 from the value read as RSSI to get
received power in dBm. The problem is that i am sending at a power level
of -25dBm (power level 3) but my received signal strength is -10dBm. how
is that possible (it shouldnt be greater than the sent power right)???? i
am keeping the sender and receiver very close to each other and i am also
using an external antenna of 2.2dBi gain, in case that helps you
answer....

thanks.
