The berries would be 3.65 if the price came down to reasonable. But then again, once the white space gear comes online.............. 2.4 will be moot.

Stupid not to, IMO. As far as Joe Blow home dweller......... that's why I've been trying to stick to 5GHz for the "Free' spectrum. I can certainly see lots of idiotic messes if trying to use Auto channel in 2.4! YIKES!!!! Had an issue about a week ago........ Hotel I do the wireless network for. Not working, keeps dropping out......... Made that 2 hour drive just to find not one but TWO wisps (They were not there the last time I had to do a call, 2 years ago! HA!) breathing down their necks with.......... yes............ AUTO CHANNEL. Ummmmm....... Same as me! (gulp) It was a big fight, turned off Auto channel and it got better. Not great but better. But at least it worked. So with that, I humbly concede to your point.

AUTO select can be like the DEVIL, when a product is sold in volume and at low cost affordable by end users. The reason is that AUTO is selfish. All it cares about is the health of its own link. It has no way to learn how it impacts the health of another's radio. The last thing a WISP wants is self imposed self interference, and not know its even occuring, because its automatic behind hte scenes. So... then comes addition of specifiying what channels are available to hop to, so that a WISP can de-select the channels that the WISP is already using at the cell site, to prevent a radio from hopping onto the channel of another AP. But problem still not solved because, the problem is not the WISP, its all the Harry Home owner people who think they are a tech, and leave AUTO on by default. SO now, Harry home owner randomly interfers with WISPs all day long. Not just on one channel, but it randomly hops to interfere with all the channels. And the WISP is helpless to engineer around the problem, because HArry Homeowner radio keeps changing channels shortly after fixed, to create a problem on a different channel. "AUTO channel Hopping" should be illegal. With that said, FCC law requires it for DFS support. That is.... hopping off radar channel. If "Auto" channel selection is an ehancement that will assist using DFS more reliably, well then I say good job in adding it, one more step towards progress of FCC certifiabilty.. One day it would be nice, if UBNT can be legal at 5.3 and 5.4. DFS enabled really does need abilty to define the channels that can be included or excluded from the hopping.
