Assuming you don't have a wireless telephone parked nearby which may be interfering, I've found that removing the cover from the batteries diminishes the likelihood of a drop out marginally. Neither my Snow Leopard MBP (I prefer a Magic Mouse to the track pad) nor my Lion iMac seem to have the problem, but my now retired G5 sure did.

I found that just cycling Bluetooth on and off was as effective as any means. Since that's a bit tough without a mouse, I used this script set up with a hot key:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/blueutil off; sleep 1; /usr/local/bin/blueutil on

The only value I see is the RSSI value in dBm (see screenshot I just attached).

Also I just installed the latest beta of iStumbler from your link but it doesn't seem to work... it shows nothing at all, not even for wifi
