My understanding was that the WLM54AGs do not operate/react the same as Ubiquiti cards, to software regarding setting TX power. Unfortuntately, I can't remember the difference/limitation off the top of my head. But if the software is set the same on both sides, it does not necessarilly mean you will get the same results out of them, even though they have very similar specs of power output. We also had numerous situation where which brand pigtail.Coax connector we used, mismatched, to cause 4-6 db difference. Once we started using Shireen's cables which were very well made, those problems went away.

Tested on two different towers with 5 clients on each. Same results with both locations. I have used the PacWireless 5.8ghz 2ft dishes at 5.3ghz and only saw a 2db difference (at max)... so I figured because the sectors were spec'd down to 5.4ghz that 5.3ghz wouldn't be a problem... but giving up 5db (only on 1 side of the link too, which is weird) is a lot. :( Travis Microserv Gino Villarini wrote: What radios?
