Butch, You're good! Your comments got me investigating further. The AP running StarOS v3 (which I'm not as familiar with) did not accept the freq I put into it and defaulted to an odd freq. The config page showed the freq I wanted but the status page showed another. I have to go out to the remote to try it but I have a good feeling it will work. Will advise. -RickG
