i have link between two points, with these details !
1- Distance 30 KM
2- 30 M tower ,32 DB dish, RB433, XR5,LMR 1M
3- First site configuration ( Bridge , 40M Nstream,TX power 30,using supper channels )
4- 2nd side configuration ( Station WDS , 40M N stream , TX power 30)
before 1 month the signal was between -70 and -75 and all was good and i can transfer 50 MB/sec without any problems
My Problem :- but now i have always noise and i should changing channels every 3 or 4 hours because the CCq became less with 50% and after finding another good channel its back good but after couples hours i need to find another channel and ping going high , its too hard to find good channel this is weird it was working fine before
Note:- i changed all things RBB and LMR and XR5 but same problem and i have two links with the same problem and i need to transfer 40MB/sec for each one
Thanks for reading and im waiting any solution or and advice help me

Does that mean the Tx power set manually at 30db on both radios?
When you changed the tx-power setting, did you set the tx-power-mode also? If you did not change the “tx-power-mode=all-rates-fixed”, then it will normally continue to use the default card rates. That would have saved your radios, and the problem may lie elsewhere.
I have burnt up my share of radios by overpowering them. My last mistake was installing a R52 and a R52H radio on the same router. I got the mac addresses backwards, and instead of decreasing the power on the R52H, I increased the power on the R52. It made it about two minutes, and that R52 has not transmitted since.
yeah i did with tx-power-mode=all-rates-fixed
but same problem my problem is how i can prevent noise or using good channel or maybe protect it from noise
It is possible you have already damaged the radios. The Ubiquiti radios are notorious for a power setting offset. Something about MadWiFi. Take a look at the bottom of this page under “Conclusion”. http://dl.ubnt.com/ubi_mtik_power.pdf
I have found the power offsets mentioned are shown only in WinBox. The CLI shows only the programmed tx-power, not the true offset power.
It is a good sign for your radios if they start transmitting without noise after a frequency change. That shuts off the transmitter for a few seconds during the change, and allows it to cool a bit. I hope for you that it does not pick up the noise again. If the noise starts again, then you should post again.
Insure you stay within the power limitations of the XR5.
If you are using “tx-power-mode=all-rates-fixed”, then you must set the tx-power=13 (23db true), unless you limit the speed to 24Mbps or less. http://dl.ubnt.com/xr5_datasheet.pdf
I recommend setting “tx-power-mode=default”. It selects the correct power setting for each speed.
