Could be the adapter. They are pretty simple and hard to screw up, but the cables could be bad too. I have made very few of these things. So far, no failures that I know about but there is always the first time.

I did that once, I assumed everything was RP and got an antenna with regular SMA connectors on it. Had to buy different coax cables. Signal was trying to jump the air gap between two female inner connectors.

We'll double check the tightness but the techs said they didn't see an issue when installed. It is possible the leads are switched at one end, however you are correct Chuck that UBNT claims that doesn't matter with this radio. Is anyone sure the Dragonwave dishes actually work with two polarities at once? I believe the literature says single pol. I know they are dual pol in that you can connect a Dragonwave either horizontally or vertically on the back of the dish but can you use two polarities at once?

Now we're seeing a 20 Db signal loss on the RSL. The DSL with the original Dragonwaves was 1 or 2 db off the PCN.
