Maybe also an international server?

MySignal v2.5 now with logging and self install program.
For those that are interested pressing F1 to F9 will store current readings to MySignal.log
A timed display will also be seen at bottom of window.
We use this basically for distance measuring on Towers.
Pressing Insert will display the log.
Log format is:
K1 - Date/Time - BaseStation - Frequency - Signal Strength - Signal to Noise

mmm I expected a bit better but it is an improvement on mine.
With 32% at work I get an ave of 125 ms.
With 25% at home I get an ave of 137 ms.

ProAsm, how is the distance measured with the timed display ?

LOL - no the distance is not an automatic distance [

Basically we use it for mobile testing.
We pullup to a Tower then drive away from it in one direction.
At 1 km we stop and press F1
At 2 km we stop and press F2
And so on.
Just a simple way as its better than writing things down while mobile []

Hmmmmm
those pings dont look 2 good [
] hehe , hopefully they will get better as sentech get more established with Mywireless.

Now has a log display icon and much larger signal display for when you walk around with an antenna []
Get it from the site on my signature as it will be much faster than my local ftp server.

Now we are waiting for news on that long awaited ethernet version. Thanks for your effort.
Running a bit of software that was obtained from www.tcpIQ.com for testing the speed of your connection giving and download and upload result
These are my results off a bad connection which hovers around 10% signal strength on my 128kbs mywireless

MySignal displays SNR in dBm and "signal strength" in percent. These
two values have
1. Different values e.g. sometimes -100 dBm correlates with 6% and sometimes with 9%
2. % display is a bit unsensitive.
3. Different meanings i.e. if your signal is very strong, but in the process you also happen to amplify some noise source (say the neighbours' microwave oven), your antenna is no good.
I would assume that the modem can pick up all signal above say 5%, and once you achieve that then the best way would to be to improve the SNR. Especially if the SNR measurement includes the noise created by the ADC (which it probably does).
So <<Insert worthy title here>> ProAsm, should your program not have a big SNR display and a small % display ? Or even better, a big Bit Error Rate display.

Once again, for the technical minded, Yes I agree but most people go by the percentage rate as understanding SNR is beyond the scope of many.
All readings displayed are not in anyway calculated or decided by myself but are generated internally in the modem and transmitted to me through special functions.
The modem can pickup signals as low as 1% and I have set the worst case senario at -110 dBm so you will never see worse than that as it most certainly does get carried away at this point []
Bitrate displays are not possible simply because at that point the modem has switched over to RAS, this is the same reason why the signal strengths cannot be displayed while the modem is online.

This must be a driver limitation. I can't believe there's no way to query the BER while the modem is connected. Same with PPPoE mode..There simply MUST be a way []
--

Flash yes, it probably is a driver problem, but even so, lets say you start with 20% and once the modem is online and you move its position to say a probable 10% signal strength, when you query it, it still says 20% [
