It would appear to be interference into Side 1.  MSE=SNR, and –7.70 is 
terrible, not good enough apparently to link even at QPSK.

So who is stepping on your frequency and polarization?  Or legally on your 
frequency but not supposed to be aimed at you.  Could possibly be some 
reflection or ducting thing, but the interfering signal appears to be at about 
–55, which is more than just some low level interference keeping you from 
achieving full modulation.

The other possibility is a radio problem.

Subject: [AFMUG] Trango Apex Issue

Twice a year for a few weeks we have a Trango Apex 11GHz link that acts up. 
Here is what we are seeing: 

Side 1:
# linktest
        LOCK       RSSI          MSE            BER             TX              
RX
  1>     0      -43.40 dBm      -7.70 dB        0.00E+00        QPSK            
QPSK

Side 2:
# linktest
        LOCK       RSSI          MSE            BER             TX              
RX
  1>     1      -45.00 dBm      -34.30 dB       0.00E+00        QPSK            
64QAM

Any idea what could be causing this? We saw something similar on Giga 11GHz 
links as well.
