If you want to see if it can go faster try to type in the speed you want (9G for example) and see the real speed on the interface and on the interface of the other mikrotik device.

I Have a bad experience with radome. When it rains that radome stays wet and signal drop a lot even few hours after rain. By my tests radom is not recomended.
