It's a WiFi based chipset but that has nothing to do with the modulation
being all over the place for no apparent reason. That's simply not true
Matthew and has nothing to do with the chipset or the PHY layer. If the
link is calculated correctly and installed correctly, that is simply not the
case. Every single radio out there adapts to a changing environment because
if they didn't, they would disconnect when conditions got below the link
specifications.
I've got several up, one at 50 miles so we have some experience with the
radios. I’m upgrading it to Cambium 820's shortly simply because I want
more bandwidth but the radio costs are 5 times higher and we put them in a
year ago. However, other B11's we have in place have been flawless as well
as our Dragonwaves and Siklus.

I think the point is, on a B11 link (well, both of ours, anyway), the
modulation will be all over the place at any given time for no
apparent reason. Every other licensed radio I've ever used will sit at
full modulation (or whatever it's supposed to be at) unless there's
something wrong with it, or there's a major storm going through that
causes enough fade for the signal level to drop. B11's tend to act
much more like I would expect an unlicensed link to act.
Isn't it just a wifi-based thing in a licensed band?
