Jorge,

Joe and NI0K have given you great advice. Here's a lot of detail on what is required. Leave out any of it and lightning will still hit you.

First, make sure the chassis of each device is firmly
bonded.  The typical failure mode is for the antenna
ground to become decoupled from the power supply (safety)
ground - there can be several KV of difference in a
lightning/surge event and your radio/computer equipment
is connected between the two "grounds".
