Can you check that your scan-list is set to "HamWAN" (so it's actually using the channel list)?

Ack, that was the problem. I had set it up that way a week ago, but due to the marginal conditions, I subsequently had specified the specific channel (as suggested by Bart early on). I'm back to using the entire list.
I take it that once the conversion is complete, I can remove the three channels with the 15MHz spacing?
An FYI: It turns out that you can specify multiple scan-lists (and/or channel names) in the "/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=..." command (but apparently not in the individual channel declarations). So, here's what I use: /interface wireless channels remove [find] channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5 frequency=5920 list=HamWAN-360-all name=HamWAN-360-old comment="Sector 1/360 (300-060)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5 frequency=5905 list=HamWAN-120-all name=HamWAN-120-old comment="Sector 2/120 (060-180)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5 frequency=5890 list=HamWAN-240-all name=HamWAN-240-old comment="Sector 3/240 (180-300)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5 frequency=5920 list=HamWAN-360-all name=HamWAN-360-5MHz comment="Sector 1/360 (300-060)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5 frequency=5900 list=HamWAN-120-all name=HamWAN-120-5MHz comment="Sector 2/120 (060-180)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=5 frequency=5880 list=HamWAN-240-all name=HamWAN-240-5MHz comment="Sector 3/240 (180-300)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=10 frequency=5920 list=HamWAN-360-all name=HamWAN-360-10MHz comment="Sector 1/360 (300-060)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=10 frequency=5900 list=HamWAN-120-all name=HamWAN-120-10MHz comment="Sector 2/120 (060-180)" channels add band=5ghz-onlyn width=10 frequency=5880 list=HamWAN-240-all name=HamWAN-240-10MHz comment="Sector 3/240 (180-300)" set wlan1-gateway band=5ghz-onlyn wireless-protocol=nv2 frequency-mode=superchannel ssid=HamWAN radio-name="AE7Q/MillCreek-Paine" To scan everything: /interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=HamWAN-120-all,HamWAN-240-all,HamWAN-360-all To scan just my sector: /interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=HamWAN-120-all To scan just one channel: /interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=HamWAN-120-5MHz Note that there is a potential "gotcha" in the naming scheme: If, instead of using "HamWAN-120-all" as a list name, I used just "HamWAN-120" in the relevant places, I get an (unhelpful) error message from the "/interface wireless set wlan1-gateway scan-list=..."command. Apparently a list name cannot be a substring of a channel name (probably an incorrect use of the "strncmp" function). I'm doing this because I have a marginal connection, and once it is lost, it takes some time to scan all the channels for a signal.
