[RFI] Recommendation needed: Whole house surge protection

Am offering this link as a source to "read up"  on what's covered and 
what's not covered by various surge protector manufactures.

Seems as if electronic products (microprocessor based radios) are often 
excluded rather than included.

They can always claim it came in that way even if it did not.
