In San Mateo and Santa Clara valley there are a _LOT_ of 11 GHz paths criss-crossing all over the place. Like it or not, the noise floor is not as quiet as you might expect. We first tried the B11 on a link from the mountain SW of San Mateo shooting to kind of central San Mateo. It was abysmal. Would not get close to full modulation, and only half duplex; which is a bigger deal than some think. It also dropped the connection to almost nothing intermittently. We replaced it with an AF11x, and while it's not quite getting full modulation, it is darn close. And it stays up, and it runs full dux.

'nuff said. We don't use B11s anymore.

They also seem to be a lot better in higher noise environments.

Um, how are you seeing "higher noise" in a licensed band?
