I do have an Orinoco, however my tower guy (friend @ other end) wanted to use another card which he bought which has 300 mw output, I wasn't really to worried about transmit power @ the time just receive. I really really want to use my Orinoco, I'll see if I can convince him.

If you do use an ORiNOCO at both ends you should be fairly confident of link RF levels. In my experience it's always been very close.
If the signals are what you expect, but you're still experiencing packet loss, then you should check for FZ, other possible interference, antenna polarity, etc. Make sure the path is what you're expecting. If possible, you might even want to visually check the link at the antenna level for anything unexpected, such as power lines. I know of one person having set up such a link, found that there was a 19kv high-voltage line right in the path. It was twisting the signal about 45º out of phase. He was able to get a high RSSI, but the packet loss was high, until he canted his antenna over.
