I'm trying to find best channel and I used spectral-scan.
My card is set to Belgium and manual tx power. Why this spectral scan gives frequencies that I can't use?

Here is my Freq. Usage from winbox: I'm currently on 5520 and everything seems fine.
On 5540 signals are better but ccq and throughput are lower.

i think mikrotik spectral analysis can help on some situations

but is far from a real spectrum analyzer so take results with care

Hi George,

odd.. i expect this to only show the allowed channels.

I'll test this in the lab and get back to you, can you give us a screenshot of the wireless config (tick the advanced button!) in Winbox or a Export compact in CLI?

I attached screenshot bellow.

Hi George,

try and set frequency mode to regulatory domain and do the scan again

Sorry for late reply.

It's same when I use regulatory domain.
