RF Auto-Tuning of channels on 802.11a radios uses only the bottom
eight channels in the band (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64). To use a
higher channel number, you must disable RF Auto-Tuning of channels on
the radio profile the radio is in, and statically configure the channel.

You can specify from 0 to 65535 seconds. The default channel interval
is 3600 seconds. 3Com recommends that you use an interval of at
least 300 seconds (5 minutes). If you set the interval to 0,
RF Auto-Tuning does not reevaluate the channel at regular intervals.

Channel Tuning Holddown—Minimum number of seconds a radio in
a radio profile must remain at its current channel assignment before
RF Auto-Tuning can change the channel.
a radio profile must remain at its current channel assignment before
RF Auto-Tuning can change the channel.
The channel holddown provides additional stability to the network by
preventing the radio from changing channels too rapidly in response
to spurious RF anomalies such as short-duration channel interference.
