What i meant to ask was, are you blowing the Ethernet ports on the radios ? (open one and see ?)
Are you loosing stuff during known lighting strikes ? or are you loosing stuff when there is rain... (no evidence of direct or nearby lighting strike). Chris S. has a very nice full article in the netonix forums on the proper way to deal with grounding... (the thing to watch out for is when grounding at different physical locations, is to make sure that there is no 'differential' between the two grounding locations... (put an ohm meter and should read 0 or as close to 0 ohms..).. e.g. the tower ground and the power ground etc... ) This ofcourse has to work in conjunction with proper surge protection.
