I don't see the correlation between unit of measurement and degree of accuracy. Somewhere in the code it must convert from dBm to %. The percentage can't just magically appear, it must be calculated somewhere. At the very least I'd be interested to find out what the SB considers to be perfect signal strength. That fact that wireless networking is primarily composed of black magic and variables out of anyone's control is irrelevant. I.e. I want to know if I set two SB's next to each other and they each get different signal strengths. And I will know that now, it's just presented as a percentage instead of dBm that I'm used to working with (i.e. unit of measurement doesn't matter).
