I debated installing a GigE-SS-HV up next to the radios, but every time
I've tried that on FM sites in the past, we had to take them out, so I
skipped it and pray for the best. And the 450 has built-in TVSS, which I
know has saved a couple radios in the past. Plus the ePMP radio is $100,
so who cares.

That's definitely enlightening. I'll be doing the climbing and I'm
really expecting to do fiber and two wire for 250 feet leaving 20'
cat5 eth/power/sync runs.

I have a connectorized ePMP on a 2' dish at 125 feet on a 50kW FM
site. The bays start at 420 feet though. And it's 50kW EIRP.
Something like 15-16kW actually on the transmission line. There's
also a low power station at 250 feet, but it's under 3kW I think.
The 450 AP at 225 feet sees some CRC errors sometimes. The ePMP
radio doesn't have any problems though. The guys didn't listen to
me and ran our cat5 bundle right next to the high power
transmission line. "But there were waveguide brackets there, it
was so easy!" I smash your face now.

Has anyone had good luck on FM stations recently? I would
*LOVE* for the radios to have an SFP, but it seems that's just
not available. I'm wonder if fiber up ~250' and then 10-20
foot shielded cat5 would be sufficient to protect the ethernet
ports from such high power.
I'm also weary about getting on the tower for having such high
power 250 feet away, but that's a secondary issue.
