Positive value of antenna signal

Sometimes I see in packets captured by Wireshark in radiotap.dbm_antsignal property positive values from 1 to 17. Shouldn't it be only negative?

According to the specification for that field, it could be positive if the signal is > 1 mW. 1 would be 1.3 mW; 17 would be 50 mW.
