I think the power levels are low enough that it would probably not be an issue about damage to the radio. However, I think a 2.4GHz antenna would work better at 3GHz than a 5GHz antenna. It won't work great, but depending on what you need, it might be good enough.

Im setting up a warehouse onboarding station for our 3ghz 450 gear. I have an old 450 AP thats got too much damage to go back in service but still functions. All I have is sector antennas to connect to it. I have tons of small 2.4, 900mhz and 5ghz antennas laying around. Im not concerned about loss, I actually want more loss because i dont know how low i can go on the output power of the AP. I dont want to create external interference outside the warehouse or burn up anythink that will be getting onboarded a few feet away. I just use the feedhorns on the epmp for this purpose.
Will it damage the radio running into an off frequency antenna?
