So AP Eval needs xmt to work, it's not just a passive rcv thing?

Probably dead Tx. I've seen it a few times. Most of the time it's the
Tx/Rx switch, which means both directions lose 20-30dB. But I've
definitely seen only Tx or only Rx die before. The 85+ degrees the past
few days probably contributed to its demise. Pouring sweat working at a
tower today. That sucked.

This SM just stopped working after several months. I would say it
went "deaf", but Spectrum Analyzer still works. It sees the AP at the
right frequency and signal level, and if I move the AP frequency
around it's clear that interference is not the problem. And no, it's
not a configuration issue.
I'm sending a field tech to climb the customer's TV tower tomorrow and
change out the SM, but I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen this
before.
Is this a known failure mode - not deaf, but seemingly can't lock onto
or decode beacons?
