Bob Wanderer, AA0CY, a consultant for Polyphaser, reported that his company
doesn't provide a balanced line suppressor. He cautioned that such a suppressor,
if it is designed to tolerate relatively high VSWR values, might pass high
potentials to the transceiver during a strike. He suggested use of a coax
suppressor between the tuner and/or balun and transceiver where the VSWR is
nominal. If is was the only suppressor the balan and/or tuner would be
sacrificed of course. (Dave, W5DN also suggested translating into coax and
putting the protection there)
