Since you have 6 non-overlapping channels that you can use, with only three radios, you do not need the CMM timing. You can have each radio generate sync. This changes if you have other canopy 5.7 gear on the towers. Marco Coelho On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 11:03 PM, Josh Luthman

If you are starting from no 5.7AP's you could get away with with no sync, but without a baseline you will not know how much not having sync will hurt you. Having been running 3 5750AP's on a mountain top for over 5 years my recommendation is to use sync. If you only have one tower and no
