First.
The AP is a PMP450 AP. Correct?
Second.
The SM is a PMP450 SM. Correct?
Define "trees". I have a rule that we do not even attempt any 5 GHz
devices through trees.

Are you talking about the Cambium 60 degree sector that has the third
connector for FSK (in the middle I think)? Or did you just put the FSK
AP on the vertical port for testing before swapping to the 450 AP?
It will sit at 8X/1X QPSK MIMO-A while scanning to listen for beacons,
so that is normal. I think you need to figure out why the SM can't
hear the AP at range. Could be bad/damaged SM or AP. Do you have
another SM or AP to try? Or RF pigtails between the AP and antenna.
Easy way to get some idea of what's going on is to run the spectrum
analyzer on the AP. Does it see anything at all?

I only enable the freq that the ap is using and unchecked all the
rest…this is what I meant by isolating
AP eval shows nothing at 1 mile mark but close up it shows
So from what you guys are saying the first 8x means what the sm is
capable of doing and the second number 1x is actual speed?
So if it registers at 1x…12feet in from the of ap then it would make
sense that it would not see anything if I try it at a mile
Guess I will have to pass traffic through it to see if it works from
what you guys are telling me
I know for a fact that the sector antenna works because I attached a
pmp100 AP to it and that registered without any issues…do you think
me plugging a pmp100 into the sector antenna would cause this?

OK, then it's not what I was thinking. If you had software on them
older than 13.2 I believe, and you also had an AP where the factory
reversed the pigtails internally, your beacons would end up on
horizontal instead of vertical and the SM probably wouldn't hear it.
You say you're getting 8X/1X but it's also not registering. That does
not compute. As other have suggested, try locking down the SM's scan
list to the exact frequency and channel bandwidth that the AP is on.
Tone alignment helps. If you can get a laptop, tablet, phone, etc.
and look at the Tools > AP Eval page on the SM, does anything show up
there? That's one of the first things our techs are supposed to do
when troubleshooting on-site. If it's obviously not an alignment
issue, log in and look at the AP eval.

There still seems to be some misconception on this. 8X/1X means
that it's 8X capable / 1X current. It's always going to show 8X
capable (or 2X for FSK, 3X for 430). After the / is what you need
to pay attention to. Also, the uplink and downlink are
independent. On the AP session status page (power tab), that's
the downlink rate to that SM. On the SM main page, link status,
etc., that's the uplink rate to the AP.
What band is this? 2.4, 3.6, 5.4 or 5.7? And what software
version do you have on the radios? It'd be best to stick with
13.2.1 for now.
For the longest time I too thought this was backwards. I assure
you it's correct.

this is the first sm am trying to install on it
the freq am on is very clean not sure what the problem

Signals on each side?
8x down 1x up? Could be an uplink path issue or heavy
interference at the AP side. Have you changed frequencies?
Spectrum analysis? Is this the first SM on the AP?
