Signal strenght isn't related to application. If you have bad signal,
then it's just bad signal. wifi-radar has different way of scaling
strenght level than network applet. wifi-radar has 5 bars, while network
applet counts in %. So, second is better, but that's just graphics.

wifi-radar doesn't do any changes to /etc/network/interfaces, so when
computer is rebooted, your network will not start. I find this as a good
thing.

There's nothing problematic in that situation. It just runs iwconfig to
choose network, and then sets up IP.
