I will have him do that when he is up there late this week.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Rip the weatherproofing off the connectors and open them up.  The complaint you 
state is consistent with moisture in the connections. When the moisture freezes 
between the connections the ice crystals form and decrease the connectivity.

Moisture may also be in the antennas or it may have "wicked" its way down to 
the connectors if the antennas have pigtails.

How are you weatherproofing your connectors???

Well, not really a pattern, but I know 2 mornings this week it was bad at 6:00AM and working at 8:00AM. No dew this week. Frost, but no dew. We certainly tried to ensure all connectors were sealed. I do have a climber going up that tower late in the week. I will have him check the waterproofing on that antenna. Radios are at the bottom with 140' of LMR600.

Does it happen in the morning when there is dew? Could you be getting water in the lmrX00 at the AP or something? Is there some daily pattern?

For the past week and a half, I have had a strange phenomenon going on

that I can not explain.  I am hoping someone here can.
I have a couple of APs that have been exhibiting this, on that is doing it right now. The one that is having problems is an RB333 with an SR9 card. Normally the AP reports the 14 customers with signal strengths from -62 to -75 and all is fine. Right now 3 are not connected and the remaining show signal strength of -84 to -91. I have not found anything that makes a difference. Sometime later this morning the signals will "magically" return to the good levels and all will be fine.
Any suggestions as to what is going on?
