Does the path have clear LOS? If not, that can cause signal strength ratio issues.
Also, is the path loss near what you calculate? Alignment on a sidelobe can give you bad signal strength ratio.

Like SNR. Seems impressive to know there's a cable issue when the signals are the same.

The manual says; Signal Strength Ratio is an aid to debugging a link. If it has a large positive or negative value then investigate the following potential problems: • An antenna coaxial lead may be disconnected. • When spatial diversity is employed, the antenna with the lower value may be pointing in the wrong direction. • When a dual polar antenna is deployed, the antenna may be directed using a side lobe rather than the main lobe. I was thinking bad cable? Maybe antenna or radio.

Bad Signal Strength Ratio. One end is 6.4 the other 19.5 Issue is probably at one end. Question is which end to check first. I have attached the System Stats of each end. Anyone able to see which end may have the problem from these?
