Re: [Karlnet] Strange retransmit problem

[Roger Boggs <rogerboggs@att.net>]

These are very good signal and noise figures.  If you are getting 
retransmission rates
of more than 3 percent (transmits/retransmits x 100) and you see no 
indications of
interference (where the noise level jumps up to significantly high levels 
approaching
or exceeding the signal levels), then I would be inclined to start looking 
for problems
with the installation or the equipment that does NOT include the radio 
card/firmware.

Water/Moisture intrusion would be the first thing I would look for, 
followed shortly thereafter
by broken or improperly assembled jumper cables.
