What antenna do you have with the AC? That really is the difference.

Thank Mike I finally came to the same conclusion ..... atleast for
the 19 mile link
Now just got to figure out why the 9 mile link sucks as well

The AF5 only has 23 dBi antenna. There's no way it'll work well at
that distance.
Also, you're comparing 23 dBi antennas to 29 - 31 dBi antennas. That
12 - 16 dB difference is most of what you're missing when comparing
to the other link.

We have installed a 22.6 mile link in Missouri that works very well
the AF5
tried a AF5U at it never even linked up
This link has been up and running for almost 3 years

The AF5 just isn't meant for distance. Look at the antenna gain
differences.

Yes did discuss no resolve
as well as AF5 and AF5U
Installed AF5X tuned them took them out put in RM5 tuned put
AF5X back in changed from 2 to 3 foot dish ....
all this on a 9.2 mile link gave up bought AF5 and they don't
work very well for 9.2 mile link
either getting better performance from the R5C Gen 2s
Have a 19.6 mile link with AF5U that sucks (-76 to -77) and the
2 foot dishes next to them with R5C Gen 2 out perform the AFs
hands down RF (-56 to -60) and data
But been told by support it's "Thermal Ducting" 20 dB difference
units 10 feet from each other on same tower same elevation

Have you discussed with support? You had them installed, but
they never linked up?

Yes for both, but I would put an X adapter kit
on the RD-5G30 to get 45 degree polarity.
