Cisco Aironet 1490 wireless bridge and lightning

We have a Cisco Aironet 1490 Wireless Bridge located on one of our two way radio towers. It works excellently.

However, three times this year it has been disabled during a lightning storm and we have had to replace it.

We are using the coax cable specified by Cisco (75 0hm RG-6) and have it grounded per their specs.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, have you solved it satisfactorily?

Has anyone experimented with using 50 ohm hardline cable (instead of the 75 0hm RG-6) on this unit?
