Meanwell RSD will work.  You can verify with your multimeter that it has no connection between DC and ground, but I guarantee it doesn't.

You are right - the WTM4100 is different after looking at the spec sheet:

Input voltage: -20 to -57V (WTM4100/ 4200 13-42 GHz)
Input voltage: -40 to -57V (WTM4200 5-11 GHz)

I only have experience with the WTM4200 (11Ghz) and WTM4800 which are -/+ 48VDC.  You may want to check with Ken Ruppel on the positive ground.

    Thanks Josh

    I do have an RSD handy but it doesn’t say isolated and some others do.
    Is a Dcdc converter isolated by nature?

     The specs say they will take 24v also in the dc port, would I
    still need the dcdc?
    The sales guy told me they are positive ground.

    Thanks again

    Yeah - you will need -/+48VDC for the Aviat radio.  They are
    floating, so they don't care about -/+.  I would stick a Meanwell
    RSD in line to convert your -24VDC to 48VDC and be done with it.

        Hi Guys

        If I have a negative ground 24 solar site filled with radio
        equipment, is the best way to power the Aviat by dc cable
        through an isolated DCDC converter?
        Any other Gotcha’s?

        I would like to just plug into the netonix switch with
        everything else but I think the pins are different.

        Thanks for any help

        Rhys
