Hi,

 

We have a Backhaul that consists of two Airmax AC Prism (R5-AC-PTP-US).  The
distance between the two is 9.4 miles.  It has been running beautifully for
the last few months.  A few days ago we started experiencing interference
spikes that completely disrupts this backhaul.  These spikes are apparently
random - we could have two in a row within a few minutes and then nothing
for an hour or two and again  I'm attaching 2 screenshots that show RF
Performance at both ends of the backhaul.  

 

We are using 5740 MHz with a 20 MHz bandwidth.

We are picking up the spike on both towers. But not all the time on the
other tower. (see below)

 

We are about 150 feet below a weather radar. I am wondering if they are
having some malfunction.

Is there a way to log the RF performance on the main page of the radio?  If
so, with what software?

Having a log would allow us to figure out if there is any pattern to this
and might help us figure out the source.

 

Here are graphs that show the spikes on both ends of the backhaul.

 

This first one is the tower that has the weather radar at the top.

I've found several posts on spikes but those seemed to be continuous spikes,
whereas these are random and can be closely or widely spaced apart.  Has
anyone seen anything like this?  Anyone have any ideas?

N.B. I've posted a thread on the Ubiquiti forum
(http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-AC/Massive-Random-Interference-Spikes-R
5-AC-PTP-US/m-p/1624513#M15219) but haven't made much progress - hoping that
someone here might have seen something similar.
