[WISPA] XR3 / StarOS / Pac Wireless
We've seen a drop in signal on all of our connections off of one AP. In the beginning, connections were at -70(ish) for all CPEs. Now they're at -85(ish) and not really usable. We've replaced several boards radio cards ($250 a pop for one of these radios), both at the AP and at the client (both AP clients are Valemount WAR4's). Using Pac Wireless 3.5 grids on clients Pac Wireless 3.5 VPol sector at the AP. Upon advice from Ubiquiti, we've grounded every point that could be grounded (including antenna and card). We've sent 5 of the radios back to Ubiquiti for testing to see if there's a problem with them. I'm wondering if any of you have seen the same things???

Re: [WISPA] XR3 / StarOS / Pac Wireless
One AP with one radio. We've gone through the moisture issue. Originally, Ubiquiti thought that the radios were taking in too much static and we needed to DC-ground each piece of equipment. We did that, bought new radios, but still couldn't get back to our original signal levels. How about antennas? Anyone have suggestions on base station antennas? I believe the pac antenna is a 120* VPol sector antenna.

Re: [WISPA] XR3 / StarOS / Pac Wireless
Mark, Yes we've seen this, we use NS2's on a variety of boards. We replaced the board, changed the connections and relocated the antenna. Weather doesn't seem to affect it and the calls certainly increase as the noise floor is approached in the -87's to -90's. We put in an Engeinus CB3 and problem went away. Three boards, two chips and no go except another brand. Never really found an answer except changing brands of antenna's helped. I'm sure it's interference related but its hard to put my finger on it.
