Re: [Ubnt_users] Aligning AF11
A couple of items and Forbes if you would like email me (find me on the ubnt forum). 1. Confirm duplexers orientation 2. Run 4.0 official on the radios. Start with the standard config and see that you get them connected before turning on features.

As well when you go back out look at look at your coordination paperwork and it will have your azimuth and any down or up tilt needed. You can use this to align it if you step back from the tower 100' and use a compass until it is line with the dish drop an orange cone or something similar and align the dish with it.

Re: [Ubnt_users] Aligning AF11
I have never tested it but I don't believe a 5GHz radio will work on an 11GHz dish if thats what your doing to test. If you have true wireless line of site you should have no problems getting a link with AF11s. What dishes are you using? I agree with Kurt, take the radios back to the bench and make sure they link up. Did you double check your configuration: master-slave, channel size, frequencies, TX-RX flipped on each side, security key, SSID, etc. Any one of those could cause it to not link up. Also make sure your diplexers are in correctly in each radio. We had that once the manufacturer had the sticker on backwards and it would not link up right till we flipped it over.
