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,
