Just an update...with Alex's help from UBNT, it appeared to be a firmware issue. He suggested I upgrade from the most recent version to the 4.0 beta 5. Without any further aiming at this point, I had a -78 signal on one end of the link. Our tower climbs are scheduled to come back this afternoon (praying it doesn't rain) to finish aiming the link.
