So I ran into another problem, when I got past the scan-list issue. At step 12, where I'm telling the radio interface to pull DHCP from HamWAN, it is telling me the interface already exists. When I look at the interfaces in WinBox, they are not named quite the same. (ether1-local and wlan1-gateway) But when I tried using interface=wlan1-gateway, it still didn't work. The next step (13) seems to work fine..... Any ideas?

Good catches.
In terms of "input does not match any value of name" it looks like a bug in the command-line interface. I can repro it here:
[eo@AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=HamWAN
input does not match any value of name [eo@AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=default [eo@AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=Sector2
input does not match any value of name [eo@AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=5905 [eo@AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=HamWAN
input does not match any value of name [eo@AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> print Flags: X - disabled, R - running 0 R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=D4:CA:6D:7A:B8:23 arp=enabled interface-type=Atheros AR92xx mode=station ssid="HamWAN" frequency=5905 band=5ghz-onlyn channel-width=5mhz *scan-list=5905*wireless-protocol=nv2 wds-mode=disabled wds-default-bridge=none wds-ignore-ssid=no bridge-mode=enabled default-authentication=yes default-forwarding=yes default-ap-tx-limit=0 default-client-tx-limit=0 hide-ssid=no security-profile=default compression=no
You can see the scan-list was NOT set properly. However, if you set it using WinBox it DOES set it properly AND uses it properly to scan through the channels. I'll try to reach out to Mikrotik support to get their take on this.
In terms of your other report of no such thing existing, drop the initial "Interface". It's just Wireless, and then the rest of the click path is OK.
You can see Signal Strength readings there.

Oh, one other thing. There's a line that says:
"Point your dish at any cell site and optimize for best signal. Look at the Interface -> Wireless -> wlan1 -> Status signal strength reports while you align."
Not sure what the equivalent is in OS 6.2, but there's no such critter that I can find. The closest thing I've found is clicking on "Quick Set" where there's a display of signal strength, SNR, etc.

I tried configuring mine this evening, and it mostly went well, except for this line:
[admin@N0GQ-KPAE] /interface wireless> set 0 disabled=no frequency-mode=superchannel scan-list=HamWAN ssid=HamWAN wireless-protocol=nv2 input does not match any value of name [admin@N0GQ-KPAE] /interface wireless>
I'm afraid I'm not yet familiar enough with RouterOS to make heads or tails of that error message. I tried some obvious (and non-obvious) things, and managed to get some new and improved error messages, but never managed to quite figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I haven't tried adding the keys and accounts yet. Figured there's no point in worrying about that until I can get the thing linked up to KPAE.
FWIW, I've re-opened the hole in my firewall if you want to debug (per earlier irc chat).

Hi all,
Due to popular demand, I've thrown together a page that should take you from unboxing a Metal 5SHPn modem to getting it on the air. See here for instructions:
https://www.hamwan.org/t/tiki-index.php?page=Client+Node+Configuration&struc...
NQ1E, if you could attach key-dsa-NQ1E.txt to that page when/if you see this, that would complete the instructions for now.
Please let me know if the instructions need fixing or improving.
