No joy. I can avoid the problem by keeping the PowerBook in the "good signal" location, but if I move it to a "bad signal" location, only rebooting fixes the problem once it's returned ot the "good signal" location.Bummer! Normally it should pick up service again once a better connection is achieved.
On my G4 12" PB I've used a signal down to 1 bar on the menu icon, though it was a bit flakey at times.
Since you mention you're using a PowerBook G3/400 (Firewire), are you using a built-in AirPort card, or an external one through the PCMCIA slot?
If an external card you might check the driver for an update. If you are using a built-in AP card, you might try deleting the receipts pkg. for the latest AP update for your PB and trying a reinstall.
Other than that, you could try naming out one or both of the following files and recreating things to see if that helps:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
