Polyphaser has a booklet on site ( if they still publish it free )
talks about proper grounding, we had a old saying in Electrical school
if in doubt ground it ! my ad on is ground every place from
transciever to the antenna . transciever, amplifier, filter, tuner,
lightning protection, tower, etc.. it makes saftey sense.

Don't waste your money on a PolyPhaser unless you can implement a good
ground system. And I'm not talking about a simple ground to an
electrical outlet. And a PolyPhaser on the antenna with none on the
power line makes the entire process worthless. ALL lines attaching to
the outside world need protective devices.
I'd suggest that you get a copy of PolyPhaser's grounding series that
explains all this in detail. I don't know where you might get a copy
other than a Google search.

Replacing a small, rooftop (about 90ft) repeater setup. The prior
system had no lighting protection, just straight coax from antenna to
duplexer. I was looking into getting a polyphaser if needed but there
is no way to ground it that I can tell. Two options I have would be
to somehow tap into the metal roof and connect it to that? or at the
radio-end of the coax attach it to a nearby AC outlet's ground? A
grounding line/rods aren't a real good option since it is on another
businesses property. Any suggestions?
