    Calibrate the signal strength to dB.
    
    For this callibration, I used adapter 0 (antenna 1), connected
    via a normal cable to a DTF-2111 generator.
    
    The same cabling and RF generator connected to adapter 1
    (antenna 2) has a difference of +3dBm (signal was stronger
    there).
    
    Yet, changing the RF for a difference of, let's say, 6dB
    reflected on a 6dB difference at the measured signal, with
    is good.
    
    So, the signal strengh can indeed be used to measure the
    antenna gain, if the antenna is repositioned. It is
    not precise to measure the absolute dBm value, however.
