Thank you for explanation.
The patch surely improves signal strength measurement and I recomend it.

Anyway, when you look at the magenta line here:
  http://78.108.103.11:11080/cgi-bin/rodga_1day_big.cgi

There are big drops in measured signal. Did you fix all places?

Before this patch there were short peeks from -78dB to -71dB. 
After patch there are short measurement drops from -62dB to -70dB.

The week charting simply averages it:
