The 5.8GHz frequency options should have 4 channels 25MHz apart instead of 5 channels 20MHz apart as an option. Most other manufacturers use the 4-channel model and it's better for interference reasons. Can you add those channels?

Motorola, TI, Wavesat and many others do 10 MHz slots, this would be more useful I reckon
:idea:

I would just be happy with the 4. I don't need the channel size reduced, just need it to match the other units we have in the area. It will interfere with my SkyPilot and Airstream/Solectek units.

I think you will only get 5, 10, 20 and 40 as options with Ubiquiti

I need the 4 channels with 5 MHz seperation.

Does channel shifting get you what you need?
I know Alvarion lets us do 5/10 mhz steps depending on the hardware revision.
MT lets you have pretty fine steps too, 5mhz on one I looked at..
It is possible to have 5 or more 20mhz radios at a site, just not all close together.

hmm, which manufacturers do that?, i haven't seen a radio yet for 802.11 that has 25 mhz chan spacing.
channel shifting looks to be your man, remember that although MT units look like they can do 5 MHz slots, they can only do that in 5MHz bandwidth mode!
Are you looking at the UK fixed freqs?, afaik they are not normally on the UBNT units without using chan shift.

solectek, Skypilot, and a couple others I have played with do that. They use a 20MHz channel with 5MHz of seperation between them. I'm just suggest that these frequencies could be added to the firmware along with a similiar setup in 5.4GHz.
