It's a direct mount. Looks like a REMEC mount. I still have some of
Chuck's AF11 to REMEC adapters around, I might just change the radios
out to AF11.

What type of mount is it? Direct or wave guide. could be condensation
either way just more likely on the remote mount inside the waveguide.
Can also happen inside the antenna mount just not as likely as its a
smaller cavity and less likely to leak. This will cause both RX and TX
to have issues.
You can contact star microwave if you need to get it fixed. I've used
them in the past they are reasonable and usually a pretty quick turn
around.

I have an old Exalt ExtendAir RC11000 link from a company we
acquired. Last year, it would stop working if the outside temperate
went below -8 F. Signal level would be fine, but the link would
just stay in the down state, and BER would be sky high. No Reboots
or ethernet bounces on either end, and the link would start working
again as soon as it warmed up. Since it had to be so cold for it to
stop working, that only happened for a few days last year and I
figured I could just live with it. There are only 2 small customers
fed off this site, And I have a low capacity backup link to the site.
The Last 2 nights we had temperatures that dropped below 40 degrees
for the first time, and the link started acting the exact same way.
So it must have broken more over the summer. I'm guessing there's
some sort of heater on the RF chip that's failed. Would that affect
both the RX and TX BER, Or have both ends failed simultaneously? is
there a secret Telnet command to check the heater status?
