Netstumbler; antenna aiming.

I was told by a Mfg. rep that Netstumbler will not work with his client radio ethernet bridge because netstumbler is only for wifi client adapters. Can this be?

I have heard that netstumbler is good for surveys and others have said it is "listening to one end of a screwdriver to tune a car".

Are there better low cost alternatives to netstumbler, which seems to be severely limited by chipset of mfg. to properly aim a wifi antenna?

For TV signals they use a field strength meter. Without laying out big bucks, what can the average hobbiest use to survey a site and determine the direction of the strongest signals? _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 140,000 groups Unlimited download
