Since no one has any ideas I will post some more info. This is not a good solution, "rxa-txb"... While it appears to have fixed the signal strength, ccq's went into the toilet and uploads are terrible. I did some channel searching and found another channel with less activity and now I am getting good connections again. I am concerned this may be a short lived fix and am thinking about cavity filters, different polarity, etc.
I spoke to another tech at a competing WISP and he had same issue. He resolved it using an older Senao card with the Prism chipset and even stayed on the orriginal channel where he started experiencing problems. Possibly it is an Atheros problem since I have tried three Atheros based cards and they all had the same issue. To date I have replaced everything on this sector, radio card 3 times, motherboard twice, coax twice and antenna once.
Anyone have any antenna suggestions?
