Thanks for the replies.  I will be firing off a PM with more details to you (coords, channel, etc).  I would appreciate your assistance, as we do like the platform and are hoping it can provide us some benefits.  To confirm, these are the two product part numbers that we ordered.  

• SH-TP-5-30 
• TP-ADAPTOR-R5AC-S-V2 

Hi there,

We recently tried our first horn antenna in order to test the product in our typical environment.  We installed the SH-TP-5-30 Horn, with shielded adapter, mated to a UBNT Rocket AC Prism.  This horn replaced a UBNT 90 degree sector antenna.

The AP side of this link is in a very RF rich environment, with approximately 25 other 5 GHz APs.  There are only 2 clients associated, one at 5 km and the other at 10 km.  Both are UBNT Powerbeam AC 500 radios.  

Utilizing the same channel, mounting location and radio, the noise floor went from -96 dBm on the sector, to -84 dBm.  RX signal increased from -64 to -63.  Performance  the same.

We were very surprised and disappointed to see the SNR get worse.  Is this a typical result?  It's only our first in the environment, but it's certainly wasn't a positive start.  The marketing material set our expectations much higher.
