Default Just had a thought about surge suppressors...

More complete nonsense. Get a suppressor rated for what you are using.


Where is the inline coax protector that claims to protect from
typically destructive surges? Does not exist. Where are specs that
make that claim? The only inline protector that claims to protect
from typically destructive surges also need the short (ie 'less than
10 foot') connection to earth ground.

One industry benchmark for coax protectors is Polyphaser.
Polyphaser application notes are an industry standard for surge
protection. What do Polyphaser app notes discuss every time? Their
protectors? Of course not. Polyphaser app notes are industry
benchmarks for surge protection. Their app notes discuss what
provides protection: earthing.
