CPE710 channels wrong
I just flashed the latest nightly build for the CPE710 and the channel selection has an issue. Originally I tested the CPE710 with my shop unit on channel 180 which is a NanoStaion M5 and it connected OK.  I then changed the  channels on both nodes to 146.  The units would not connect.  I did a WIFI scan on the CPE710, and it shows itself at channel 149, and likewise a scan on the NanoStation indicates  the CPE710 is channel 149.  Coincidentally, the default channel after the initial programming was 149.  
    Also the node initially booted with Link Quality Management enabled, which (IMO) is not preferred.
Thank you,

The config file shows the

The config file shows the channel as 146.  If I do a WIFI scan on the CPE 710 it shows channel 146.  I attached a picture.  Not sure if I did it correctly.

If I do a WIFI scan on 2 other nodes I see channel 149.

I suggest you open an issue
I suggest you open an issue on the github page for aredn at https://github.com/aredn/aredn Include as much information as you can. Include a copy of the Support Data ( Click the Download Support Data button) Additionaly test to see if the behaviour is the same for the different bandwidth settings. EG 5/10/20. Additionally if possible please check if channel 140 and 144 work correctly.

I tried channels 140 and 144
I tried channels 140 and 144 and they appear to be correct.  I then randomly tried channel 162 which caused it to transmit on 163.  I also tried 5 MHz bandwidth with the same result.  I'm heading over t Githb to open an issue.  Thanks for your help.

I just installed 3.23.4.0

I just installed 3.23.4.0 firmware and re-ran the channel test. The results are in the Excel file. Let me know if it helps.  I have an issue open on Github on this problem, but I thought I'd post what I found here also.
