Is it inherent to the spectrum, or will different radios cope with it
differently? I think I remember that being one of the claims to fame of
the PTP600, was that it handled multipath better.

Trees were eating up multi path that is now harming your signal.

Foliage, and Rain
I have a PTP NLOS link which is working the opposite of what I expect,
and I'm having trouble understanding it. It is a NLOS link in 5ghz
(2.5 mile link, Urban area, <1/8 Mile is NLOS). UBNT, 2' dish to a
Powerbridge. Here's the part I can't figure out. Over the summer,
when the trees are leafed in, the link is rock solid, no signal
change, No modulation change. Rain, Shine, Night, Day, stays exactly
the same. However, over the winter, when there are no leaves, it
loses signal, and the signal and modulation fluctuate dramatically.
Rain will drop the link out. I have tried re-alignment after the
foliage has dropped off, and was not able to gain signal, or change
the pattern at all. I'm guessing it must be some sort of
Multi-path/reflection that the foliage is blocking. Would a different
radio handle this better than the UBNT? Like if I changed it to EPMP,
AF5x, or PTP600 would it act differently? Or is there something else
at play that I haven't thought of?
