Quick turnaround on the unlock codes. This thread reminded me
that I still needed a code for AC Powerbeams. I filled out the
form and they arrived four days later (including the weekend).

Well frustrating day. We moved channels on ptp while using
another radio to run airview and site survey. Moved to
5190 and the other wisp moved to 5180....Us at 20 and him at
40Mhz...moved to 5275...10 minutes later he moved to
5265...so I configured our scanner radio to 8Mhz and parked
it on his center channel. He moved to 5200 and we got speeds
back up. Links are close to each other and parallel paths.

Max Tx power is only 18 or 19 at 64QAM 5/6 on a "M"
series 802.11n 2x2 ubnt radio anyhow... So it's not a
terribly disaster for PTP links.
I believe they are only +23 when operating in QPSK.

Yes, once you activate the revised UNII
rules, it it will lower the EIRP in UNII-3,
however just upgrading the firmware won't
change anything (until you enter the key) and
you can use the key again to get the higher
Tx Power back (and disable UNII-1/2)... of
course if you lose the link when the power
drops, that won't help you... if a link is
questionable, I would just try lowering the
tx power using test mode to see what happens
before you do anything.

Hi Guys,
There are actually two sets of "DFS"
unlocks. The older unlock is from a few
years ago to unlock DFS on
RM5/NanoBridge/NanoStation. Those keys
will not unlock PowerBeam/NanoBeam or AC
products.
NanoBeam/PowerBeamM units will require
5.6.3 + unlock codes generated in the
last few months (June 2015).
AC products can be unlocked as well, but
this is currently only available on
7.2/8.0 beta firmware. R5AC-PTP and PTMP
models are limited to bands above 5470MHz
due to airPrism filtering. The
R5-AC-PRISM will have full U-NII band
support.
If you need new codes/stickers for
PowerBeamM/NanoBeamM or AC products, you
can request them here:
https://www.ubnt.com/fcclabelrequest/
Please feel free to email me directly if
you have any questions.

You just need

which you do
