Gino, we used to take radiator house, pull the wire out of it, slit it, and used that to isolate the physical mounting of the sectors. I am not sure why we stopped, but no longer do that.

I do think too that isolating its easier and should be the way to go... DC plant, fiber up. Problem would be mounts and tower attachments... thinking of using PVC conduit? Gino A.

Great question Gino. I hope we get some good input. My opinion is that you have to be completed isolated or extremely properly grounded. Both can be complicated, but the second way being the most complicated Paul From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gino Villarini via Af Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 7:31 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [AFMUG] Gear in Tower - Grounded or Isolated? I remember the good old days that most of our network was based on Canopy Classic: The radios were isolated form the tower, minor lightning issues.. Nowadays its has turned into a big issue for us, radios and MW getting zapped! Were do I start? Should I go back to the Isolation model and have all gear in tower isolated from the tower in any way possible? Gino A.
