This is in 2.4 GHz, so I don't have Force 180 as an option. The signal is so high because this is a close SM for a PtMP system... the integrated unit was picking up too much local interference, so I needed to get higher gain on the downlink side. Uplink auto gain is set to -60 dBm.
I aimed it down a bit to hit -40 dBm. I usually don't deal with much noise: I can hold MCS15 in 2.4 GHz at -60 on most links around here...
