I've got a problem client radio that almost always needs attention after a lightning storm. It is mounted with a gable mount on an eve so the radio itself is not physically grounded which I think is where my problem is coming from. The cat5 wire is grounded with a tranzeo POE ground lead but that is not stopping the surges. I've got a RB532 board which has lost 3 ethernet ports due to surges on the POE line even while using the tranzeo POE's ground. Now I have never lost a radio at this location but I have lost 3 ethernet ports and 2 POE injectos. This last time around the radio actually defaulted back to factory defaults. Radio is a TR-5a-21. Now I suspect that if this radio was mounted to a TV tower and not the eve that I would not be having these problems since it would naturally be grounded. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get this thing grounded. How heavy of guage do I need?
