Smart move!!!
When at all possible, we do that: active elements inside, inactive
antenna outside.
Design your grounding properly (NOT A MINOR ACHIEVEMENT!!!) and
you're set: EVERYTHING goes to 1 common ground, coax lightning kits
(outdoors) and in line lightning arrestors (indoors) go to different
grounding blocks.
Have a problem, check out the radio indoors.
We even do this with outdoor-rated radios, specially for backhaul
AccessUnits and RemoteBridges.
Cell companies do it this way because it's less prone to issues and
they have the money to pay for it. In this case, the cost is worth it
if you ask me.
On WaterTanks we've set up an outdoor, temp controlled weatherproof
box (engineered in house with DC-powered fans and battery backup at the
base) to house the outdoor units. I should send you pictures.
