Yes, that was why I swapped in a NanoBridge since it has no cables. This was a great "POP" Quiz (pun intended). I've seen or heard of a lot of issues but the idea that something is broadcasting something strong enough to take out a short hop really makes you wonder what it is. Right now the Rocket Dish is my hero! On a side note: I'm having trouble with a 2.4GHz AP on another tower that points in the same direction as the industrial park that I suspect is the culprit. Thanks again to all that replied to my calls for help - especially Faisal.
