I've got a 433 with 3 R52H running 3 2.4GHz sectors. Self interference is an issue, though not terrible at 2.4GHz.
I've got an RB600 with 4 R52H, 2 PTP 5GHz, 1 5GHz AP (kind of a backup) 1 2.4GHz AP (backup). The 2.4 vs 5GHz works fine without fail, never had a problem. The two 5GHz shots work great if I have good signal. Situation changed a bit, my signal is in the mid -70's or worse, rock solid at 18mb, but anything higher is worse. If I disable one of the PTP links, I can get 24 or 36mb with high CCQ. If I send to the first AP, it works fine. If I send through to the second AP, both suffer.
At 18mb, it works, but I also have large channel separation. I will have to change this later for sufficient bandwidth, but for now it works.
Another box I have some R52H's and an XR5. The R52H's see each other with a -20s signal. The XR5 sees those broadcasts in the -40s to -50s and doesn't have as much trouble. I don't know if that is due to the lack of a diversity switch or if it is because of the MMCX connector and better pigtail.
