Thanks, Jack. Would installing this one http://www.ubnt.com/cf.php4
be the correct move? Or is something else preferred.

Brian,
A -36 dBm signal probably won't destroy your receiver or permanently
desensitize it however your best bet is to get confirmation from a
Motorola rep. The signals you see at 928-930 MHz are from one or more
paging transmitters. These paging signals could easily desensitize
your AP receivers temporarily and cause a temporary inability to hear
incoming SM signals.
Since you appear to be using antennas that are external to your APs,
you can insert a bandpass filter between each AP and its antenna. This
will attenuate the paging signals and allow the APs to receive SM's
from further away. If the paging transmitters ARE the cause of your
apparent AP receiver sensitivity deterioration, then the bandpass
filters should be helpful in reducing the frequency of occurance of
the problem.

How would that help? One sector is still pointing at the
interference.......Wouldn't that sector still make the radio fail, if
the -36 signal is what is doing it?
My question from the original post. Will that strong signal
desensitize the radio into failure? If not, then I need to figure
out what kills my radios. Why do they work fine for a month and then
die? I replace just the radio and they are fine for a while.

Subject: [WISPA] failing Canopy 900
I keep losing canopy 900 APs. I used the spectrum analyzer
yesterday and saw -36 signal on channels 928, 929, and 930. Will
that strong signal desensitize the radio into failure? because for
some reason SMs that used to be -65 are -80 (on both sides of the
like) and 17 out of 33 associations have dropped off the AP. I've
been fighting this for a year. I've installed my own grounding, a
lighting dissipater, 6 new APs, 2 new omnis, and 3 new cables. I
think I have ruled out anything that could be killing this AP
except if something RF is killing it. Any input will help.
