As I previously mentioned I do not have a signal strength meter and
used the standard Linux utility "iwconfig" to produce some sort of
data. It gave a reading of 6 for signal strength using the bare
adapter and as high as 23 with the wok I can only assume that whatever
the value of the increments that the ratio is accurate.

Kismet is the program for Linux

Thanks for that. I had a couple of others but more is better.

Network STumbler for Windows is better and if you hook a GPS receiver to
the PC it will even log the position of every signal it finds that
couples directly to Google EArth! Way cool scanner for wifi at home or
riding around in a vehicle.

Net Stumbles has a problem in that it only works with certain specific
Wireless chip sets. Unfortunately not the ones I have.
