The problem with non-integrated DFS APs is that Motorola/Cambium never
released a factory connectorized version for the US. So they assume to
be 7dBi integrated APs. Now you're presenting twice the antenna gain (or
more) to the radio which had DFS calibrated for a lot less antenna gain.

We are starting to see a lot more DFS detections on 5.2 AP's. We never used to
have this problem. Recent upgrades to firmware seem to be making this a more
sensitive detection. I have one tower tonight with 6 new FSK sectors that are
on abcabc layout. The sectors in this layout have radar detection on this
tower at various times in the last 20 minutes on both sector c radios and on
the second sector B. I am also seeing this happen on towers where we have
recently replaced connectorized AP's due to lightining damage where it was not
a problem before. we are running 13.1.3 on all of these radios. What are my
options here. I cant just stop using 5.2 for APs???
