Restriction

If you deploy APX 320X or AP6 420x in any of the countries listed in Regulatory restrictions, you can only use them as single radio devices to broadcast either 2.4 GHz OR 5 GHz (on Radio-0). The other radio (Radio-1) isn't available for configuration due to these regulatory restrictions. Additionally, in Israel, you can only use 2.4 GHz channels as all 5 GHz channels are prohibited for outdoor use. In both these situations, the radio LED status is red.
