Some devices if you factory default them you can pick a different country on first bootup.  I knew a guy who used to set all of his Ubiquiti stuff to “Hong Kong” so he could avoid power and DFS rules in 5.2-5.6ghz. 
I am not recommending this course of action, and I would personally not be comfortable with the liability (and bad neighborliness) that would come with that, but it’s definitely a thing people do.

Change your country code to Russia and you won’t have any DFS hits anymore 😊
(not actually a good idea)

This happened after 911 in Del Rio/Bracketville Texas areas...Tsunami ptp links for hospital to clinic 5Ghz link...they would start at 6:00am and stop at 9:00pm..

Link would come back up!!  

It affected some VoiceStream (T-Mobile now) tower to tower links as well..  

I believe the statute  of limitations is over, if not, this was a dream ala Dallas episode.

We ended  up putting  a parallel 2.4GHz link using two Teletronic wireless router which supported bridge mode and had channel 14 with a friendly 1 watt booster on the AP side...they would use it when they needed to send X-rays only and turn it off when not in use.   They would transfer files and updates at night....used it for several months after the Air Force base went back to normal operations.

No hablo...

I would not be suprised to see multiple avenues of interference near military bases across all communication spectrum. There has got to be a lot of testing taking place in the event things go in a southerly direction over there and we have to either deploy or provide systems to interfere with communication systems of scale over large geography.
