Arm-chair quarterbacking ! in 11glhz(USA), license are issued in 80mhz or 40mhz chunks... the radios which will only use 56mhz of that 80mhz license. (so, if you think you have a '56mhz' license because that is what the radio is using ..., it is actually an 80mhz channel coordinated for you.)
Changing Radios/ Antennas, requires an update... check with your coordinator on specifics and $$ Moving Radios from one site to another nearby site .. would require a coordination and new site location registration. You really should be asking these questions to your coordinator... they are all very good and fast at answering these types of questions.. Like all of us, they earn their living by serving their clients, and the more educated their clients are, the better it is for them. (FYI.. the Mimosa may or may not be licensed in the same manner as the integra would be licensed.. i.e. Integra 2+0 may or may not be an exact drop in match of your 80ghz Mimosa License...chances are very high that it is .. but you still need to double check that ).
