Ouch. I can just feel the flesh boiling. Probably have to wear a radiation suite to work on your radio, being that close to that. I'd predict the Ubiquitits would get severe receiver overload without filters added. Any chance of moving your antennas further away? Or the FM antennas further

There is QUITE a difference between a separation distance of 20 ft and a separation distance of 100 yards. Remember the inverse-square law - RF intensity decreases as the SQUARE of the separation distance. 100 yards is 300 feet and 20 feet goes into 300 feet 15 times so the RF intensity at

I have an fm antenna (low power) on the tower where I am at at about 35 feet above me and I have a CPE on an FM backup antenna with no problems. This is Axxcelera 3.65 wimax. Shielded cable with good grounds. No need for ferrite beads so far. Sent from my iPhone4 On Dec 20, 2010, at 5:31 PM,

Filtering is pretty moot when you consider they are in plastic housings with no significant shielding :-) -B- On 12/20/2010 6:31 PM, Leon D. Zetekoff wrote: On 12/20/2010 05:56 PM, Jack Unger wrote: There is QUITE a difference between a separation distance of 20 ft and a separation
