Yes, All pre-existing 5.3 links installed prior to the new DFS rule addition,
are grand fathered. You are allowed to repair those grandfathered links and
still not have to use DFS. Manufacturers are now only allowed to provide
non-DFS 5.3 gear for repair purposes. (such as RMA repalcements).
Its unclear whether a new radio brand (made after DFS rule addition) can be
used to replace a grandfathered link.
For example, if a 5.3 trango was in place for 8 years and then fails, could it
be replaced by a Ubiquiti 5.3 radio (non-DFS certified) configured at
equivellent powers, for the grandfathered path? Because of that question, Used
5.3Gear has a market.
My personal opinion is that an inforcement agency would not likely press the
issue, if path was proven to be grandfathered and not causing harm.
I dont think they'd go as far as check dates of a product line's launch,
installed at each grandfathered link location. Although, I doubt my opinion is
legally correct. You should keep a list of all 5.3 Grandfathered links, so if
questioned, you can prove such.
What I did is I made a list of all 5.3 links, and put it in an envelope and
sent it certified mail to myself, and left it unopened, and then attached a
second copy of the list to the outside, and then filed it away.

And now I learned something... that the 5.25-5.32GHz band is now limited by
DFS.
This applies to new links only?

I'm still looking for the 5.2GHz grant for the xr5, but here is the grant
for 5.8GHz

Can you direct me to the CM9 and xr5 certification for the 5.2 band?
I would really like to be able to use this band for a few sites where
subs are 2-3 miles max

The cm9 and xr5 cards are certified for use in the 5.2GHz band
(5.18-5.32GHz) and in the 5.8GHz band (5.745-5.825GHz).
I don't use anything in the 5.4GHz band because that requires DFS
I really don't want to rehash the modular certification argument again.

Use 5.2GHz, mikrotik with cm9 or xr5 cards. I do a PtP link 3200ft on
5.3GHz. Carries 50Mbit on a 40MHz channel with ease...
