Review on 75 ohm DC-3 GHz Lightning Surge Protector F Female to F Female with 90 V Gas Tube Surge Arrester (Lightning Arrester F Female to Female) by Tim Morrison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works better as output surge arrester

best at source of shock. The closer you get to that with a spark gap, the more likely it is that everything behind will be protected. I added this to my terrestrial TV antenna on the mast very close to the antenna with a large ground wire to the ground rod at the base of the mast. I chose this because of the stainless steel construction and interchangeable washers. The ground wire screw is a little flimsy but works. It can be replaced for pennies at a hardware store with a stainless steel metric hex cap for more reliability.

Pros
  • 1. Surge arrester with F-sockets 75 ohms on both sides, same as 859992 75 ohm surge arrester, protects signal amplifier from lightning strikes, requires additional ground wire
Cons
  • Upgradeable
