You don't keep spare radio cards in stock? That's probably something
you should consider.

I changed the freq a bit and didn't see any significant change. I climbed
and swapped the pigtails with North and changed all the settings so they
were fully swapped. Everyone on the south sector (which did have the
questionable radio) is now happy. Now the North sector is showing the same
symptoms on my test CPE. It's a good thing everyone except two are on East
and West until I get this sorted out. Time to contact Streakwave about a
bad radio...

It would be interesting to switch the freqs around and see what
happens. It's probably a bad radio or cable though. -RickG

Does this seem like the radio isn't loud enough?
I setup the test CPE on the TV tower at my house and pointed it at the
tower. Radio Mobile reports the azimuth as 250 degrees, so well within
the south sector's coverage and only at a distance of 230'. I am well
below the vertical beamwidth of the sectors, explaining the relatively
low signals, but ICS2 is horrible.
1 = North, 2 = South, 3 = West, 4 = East.
It makes no sense that South is that much worse signal wise than the
others, especially considering that it should be on the South sector
anyway. 3 and 4 are SR5s while 1 and 2 are XR5s. I just replaced the
towers with the XR5s.
