A path operating >40MHz is already on the 80MHz channel plan, so you'll
likely be fine going from 56/60 to 80. You do not want to be responsible
for interfering with another licensee, like public safety would be bad.
Increasing channel bandwidth is a definite coordination because it could
lead to a bucking scenario. Been there. Play it safe and always ask your
coordinator, IMO. I like Liz @ Intelpath. She is extremely responsive
and helpful. I picture her as Fry when he reaches 100 cups of coffee. No
off switch. She sent me an email at like 1am and said my frequencies are
clear and I can go ahead and change.

So, as long as you're using the same channels, it's basically just
updating the hardware on the license, and you don't have to go through
coordination or anything like that? What about if you're currently
using a 56mhz channel and go up to 80mhz?

Why not license that 57(60) mhz channel at 80 just to have the
80 when we relocate it? can we do that?
In 11GHz your choices at the upper end are 40 or 80MHz channels.
If you want to run at any size above 40Mhz then you would ask to
license an 80Mhz channel. For example a SAF Lumina running at
56Mhz would license an 80MHz channel.
We also have two mimosa links at 80 that id prefer to have
nearer the end of our network than closer. As long as we dont
exceed EIRP and reuse the antenna, is there anything stopping
us from just replacing these with the more stable integra 2+0?
does the fcc care if the hardware changes, but the pattern
stays the same without exceeding the EIRP?
Yes, you have to modify the license for any changes.
