We aligned them no side lobe here
used alignment scope and borrowed a laser aligner from a
Verizon friend just to make sure
Loved that laser one but 12,000 is a little more than I can spend right
now LOL

I had a 2 and 3 foot dish working with Rockets for years. Tried
swapping to af5x and couldn't even associate!
After so much hassle back and forth etc we discovered the dishes were
misaligned. Rockets did 60 megs where af5x wouldn't associate.
Af5x works a LOT better aligned than Rockets side lobed.

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

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

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
