Hi [USER=19448]@framug[/USER],

Thank you for testing.

From the tuning / signal-strength thread, cards fall into 3 categories:
Low Strength -> High Strength
0    -> -100
0    -> 100    \_____ completely opposite (database ?)
-100 -> 0    /

Normalising can be applied for 2:
0    -> -100 \_____ normalise with Maths.Abs()
0    -> 100 /

This alone means that 2 cards can give completely opposite results when tuning.

In the tuning thread. They suggest a database?

My solution so far is clearly a rough approximation that works very well in my situation, which may not be replicated world-wide.
Thank you for making me fully aware of the need to reach a global base.

I am in a logical straight-jacket of the card manufacturers making of sorts.

There are 3 ways to represent values of strength with 2 completely opposite - making this logically impossible, without some switch for a user to identify the card type they have ?
