Signal boosters only provide a 1 point bonus?

Often, here on the forum, I read comments from posters quoting sizable skillpoint gains when standing next to a satellite dish.  However, I'm only seeing a 1 point increase in my compile, decompile, and repair skills when under the effects of a signal booster.

If I open the status panel to monitor the bonuses tab, I'll see something like this when standing next to a signal booster:

Decompile Skill: [Bonus: +18 points]
>>Decompile Items: [Bonus +17 points]
>>Signal Booster:  [Bonus +18 points]

Move away from the signal booster and it changes to:
   
Decompile Skill: [Bonus: +17 points]
>>Decompile Items: [Bonus +17 points]

Is that really all the bonus a satellite dish gives?  1 point?  I don't think this is a display error either, because back when I was level 12 I attempted to compile a difficulty 18 pair of boots (shoes usable by a level .  With a compile skill of 12 (at the time) and a sizable boost from a satellite dish, you would think this would be a piece of cake.  Instead, I failed both times I tried.

Well, currently I'm level 17 and still only getting 1 point.  Is anyone getting more than a 1 point bonus from a signal booster?

As far as the shoes, correct.. they only required level 8 to wear, but the difficulty rating (as far as compiling them goes) is "18".  At the time I had a compile skill of 12, but even being a few points shy I figured that if the signal booster was providing at least a 5-10 point bonus then I had more than enough skill to compile the clothing, but that turned out not to be the case (because, it would seem, the signal booster is only giving a 1 point bonus).

I would love to know if anyone is actually getting more than a 1 point bonus from the satellites.  And, if so, what the location of that dish was, what level they were, etc.

Good stuff to know.  Thanks for the answers, folks.
