Hi Phil,

 

Thank you.  We thought of it but would have to change antennas to do that.  
These can’t go lower than 5485 MHz.  L  We were hoping to avoid swaping out 
antennas if at all possible.  I’m sure you understand.

backhaul.

 

Haven't seen anything like that, but the closest weather radar to our location 
is 50 miles away.  With that kind of signal you could try 5200GHz and get away 
from the noisy 57/5800 band.

Hi,

 

We have a Backhaul that consists of two Airmax AC Prism (R5-AC-PTP-US).  The 
distance between the two is 9.4 miles.  It has been running beautifully for the 
last few months.  A few days ago we started experiencing interference spikes 
that completely disrupts this backhaul.  These spikes are apparently random - 
we could have two in a row within a few minutes and then nothing for an hour or 
two and again  I'm attaching 2 screenshots that show RF Performance at both 
ends of the backhaul.  

 

We are using 5740 MHz with a 20 MHz bandwidth.

We are picking up the spike on both towers. But not all the time on the other 
tower. (see below)

 

We are about 150 feet below a weather radar. I am wondering if they are having 
some malfunction.

Is there a way to log the RF performance on the main page of the radio?  If so, 
with what software?

Having a log would allow us to figure out if there is any pattern to this and 
might help us figure out the source.

 

Here are graphs that show the spikes on both ends of the backhaul.

 

This first one is the tower that has the weather radar at the top.

I've found several posts on spikes but those seemed to be continuous spikes, 
whereas these are random and can be closely or widely spaced apart.  Has anyone 
seen anything like this?  Anyone have any ideas?

N.B. I’ve posted a thread on the Ubiquiti forum 
(http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-AC/Massive-Random-Interference-Spikes-R5-AC-PTP-US/m-p/1624513#M15219)
 but haven’t made much progress – hoping that someone here might have seen 
something similar.
