i can't see non-dfs channels at AP-3865e after choosing AP environment 'outdoor'

[Yasar_Karacan]

Hi all,
I can not see non-dfs channels when i choose 'AP environment' part to 'outdoor'. But, i am able to use both dfs and non-dfs channels when i choose 'indoor'. I have AP-3865e model AP's, PRO-AO-5DIPN and PRO-AO-2DIPN type antennas, mostly use them for outdoor environment. Is it critical to choose the real environment for this AP's, or can i use them 'indoor' mode although they are mounted on outdoor environment, does this change adversely affects AP's capacity performance?

Unfortunately there is a list of countries who allow only DFS channels outdoor, so there is not much choice 

An access point has to shut down for a given amount of time if it detects interference with a DFS channel. Given there is more chance of DFS interference outside I believe you would be causing yourself trouble by attempting to use those channels outdoors.

You can see what channels are allowed per country , and sime of them marked 'indoor only' here on wiki : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

3805 is indoor AP only. Both non-dfs and dfs channels allowed for indoor use in most countries.
