Possibly. But you'll have to climb either way to replace the blown SS instead of the blown radio. Or both, nothing is perfect.

Shouldn't the SS protect it?

    And if the SS pops, then you'll be climbing it anyway...? And the
    it keeps tripping because of the FM, then you'll be climbing to
    take it out. Just sayin'. :)

    Me.  I don't want the radio to pop if I have to climb it :(

        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.
