What is the meaning of that signal difference?

RouterOS General

Hi all,
I have a link (about 10 km) made of a couple of RB433AH, RouterOs 3.23, radio module Ubiquiti XR5, power 23db
Antenna A is path panel, while Antenna B is parabolic dish.
The strange issue is the following one…

Looking at the register status page on wireless tab (for both the Mikrotiks) I see:

Why are that signals so different relating to data rates?
I’m used to see comparable signals on all data rates, how can be a difference of more than 20 db?

Thanks
Massimo

Anybody can tell me the meaning of “strength-at-rates” parameters?
I couldn’t find any explication on the RouterOs manual :frowning:

is it really an undocumented feature or I’m missing something? :astonished:

I think its showing the last known signal at rate, if it hasnt used that rate for a long time, it might be just old signal or it was on the rate for only split second, and didnt get a proper signal reading.

signals will never be the same…even with the same hardware
