It lasts fine for about 30 minutes, then it becomes increasingly useless in TX. RX seems perfectly fine. Things aren't unfortunately going to get any better in the short term. It looks like I'll have to port over some more of the radio init, calibration and antenna management code from ath9k before TX will be stable. If someone wants to help me do it then please, be my guest. I can give you a simple thing to port over (temperature compensation for the AR9280/AR9285) that may help.
