I'm glad to hear that but on the downlink did you ever suffer from any interference from 2.4ghz devices? That is the whole question at the beginning of this thread.
It seems for some when all theses goodies are migrating up to 5.8ghz they choose to cancelled 2.4ghz on the downlink to put it on 5.8ghz for Eagle? Put it this way it seems oversimplistic but under the sun of San Diego a sudden light shine coming from probably Tijuana where Tequilla is cheaper than a bottle of coke...
To be on 2.4 or not to be on 2.4 that is the question!
P.S.(I don't drink coke there is too much sugar in it and it's make me too fat)
