The cheapest thing you can do, in my opinion, is this: Put your equipment in a good metal box, if fans make them RF screened fans, and ground it good.
Then make your cables with level 2 tough cable from ubiquiti (or whatever their double shielded cable is called), using their shielded ends and make sure the connectors are put on according to their plan. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I was. I've only ever bought one box of the tough cable and only used it once for about two runs of cable on a large tower. wasn't thinking the quality would be that great because they are not known for top of the line quality, just bargain priced stuff. A new 100,000 watt fm antenna was activated 5 feet behind our equipment (yes, radiating towards us on a platform away from the tower, we were not behind it) and the only two radios that did not go down were the two we used the tough cable on. That said everything I needed to know. Shireen, Belden etc didn't make the cut. It does turn green after a while which is kinda odd, and I can't say how it will last.... but it is shielded better no doubt.

We often see things like a radio will run errors or drop to 10mbps instead of 100mbps until we find a good position on the tower that its happy with. Once its happy we never have an issue again. We've tried earthing, not earthing, STP, UTP. Nothing seems to definitively solve the issue. Does anyone have any advice they'd like to share? It would be muchly appreciated.
