Card with chipset BCM4360 [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) doesn't see 5Ghz networks with high channel number.

The card Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) doesn't see 5Ghz networks with an high channel number, if you change the channel back to a lower one the network will be found again.

In my case with channel 104 the network wasn't seen by the card, with channel 40 it works fine
