Re: [AFMUG] AF5x Failure Rate
We have lots of AF-5x links, and as far as I can remember, we've had one radio die - and that was when the tower took a direct lightning strike.

Re: [AFMUG] AF5x Failure Rate
3 links in diverse parts of the network, 2 links are on the 18" UNBT dishes, 1 is on a set of beehive dishes with 5ghz feedhorns. 2 failures were within a week of install, the 2 links with immediate failures were installed months apart. Another failure was on a radio running for over a year. No weather issues when radio stop. SA is Hearing noise normally, so I think that something happens to the TX on the radio. New radio on same dish/channel/power links up immediately. On 12/17/2017 11:24 AM, Jim Bouse [Brazos WiFi] wrote: I have about 30 AF5X links.

Re: [AFMUG] AF5x Failure Rate
Same. We have almost 50 af5x links and have had very little trouble with the Rf portion that wasn't related to a bad jumper, etc. On Dec 17, 2017 11:24 AM, "Jim Bouse [Brazos WiFi]" <j...@brazoswifi.com> wrote: > I have about 30 AF5X links.

Re: [AFMUG] AF5x Failure Rate
I have about 30 AF5X links. I've had exactly 1 radio die since I started using these things when they first came out. Can you describe your setup a bit better?

[AFMUG] AF5x Failure Rate
I only have 3 AF5X links, But I've replaced 3 of the 6 radio units so far. They all have had RF problems where the link drops, but Ethernet and MGMT is just fine. I just had another radio go bad this weekend. I have a couple Dozen AF5 links in the air, and have had no problems with those. Is the Failure rate on the 5X radio that high, or am I just extremely unlucky?
