I had a similar problem with an AF3X not connecting; turned out that after updating to OS 4v, it decided to back off the conducted TX power to like -26 or something stupid. It basically wasn't transmitting. I had to set the antennas to 0 gain and manually calculate the correct transmit power

Really weird that both pig tails have the exact same level of problems, though. Both chains dropped from 60s to 80s to 95+ and the link obviously disappeared. The signals reported on the AirOS interface, I mean. Spectrum scan still shows -50 to nearby APs and -60 on the BH frequency. Josh

If you have a backhaul covered in ice i can almost guarantee that the ice is causing your signal being down, seen this a couple winters ago on an AF5X link with 2 foot dishes, your pretty much screwed until the ice melts off.. On Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 11:36 AM, Josh Luthman
