Received signal strength

[Eduard Garcia]

Now, I add my message (sorry) :((

yes... I'm interested in everything involving power control. In addition to
sensitivity, I'd also like to get trustworthy data of received and
transmitted signal. What documentation/patches/etc. should I apply?


Thank you  ;)
