I tested this a bit today. This definitely seems to do something.
FWIW, a list of default 18/20 values for a few cards:
18 20
Senao 162 200
Zcomax 162 188
DLink 162 248
My basic test was with the Zcomax, attaching the little antenna rotated 90 degrees so that one antenna port has a definite disadvantage. From this it can be seen that 18/20 set to 164/191 uses the antenna port by the LEDs, 160/189 the other.
Will test with other cards as I can.
