My original thought also.

I don't understand.  Any received signal which is too weak to 
saturate the receiver should not need attenuation.  Every such 
signal is marked as 100%?  Whereas any signal which saturates 
the receiver will be attenuated.  Such signal is marked as less 
than 100%?  Seems counter intuitive.

The 100% annotation appears frequently.  Sometimes a smaller 
percentage can be raised by moving closer to the access point.  
I don't recall ever seeing a percentage less than about 35.

Appears this is another instance where the best documentation 
is the source code.  Thanks for the interest and discussion,
