[TowerTalk] Who is the better lightning/static antenna protector?

[Gian Luca Cazzola]

Towertalkians,
I am the owner of an old Rockwell/Collins lightning protector. But I dont
want to use it on my Force 12 C4 antenna becouse they aren't dc-grounded
(both antenna and protector) and I would prefer a lightning protector
without dc continuity, the kind with a high voltage capacitor- series.
Also I prefer a protector that discharges statics - I want the better
protection from statics for my FT1000MP and my old Cubic Astro 102-bxa
(mosfet front-end). Obviously it should take 1.2kw cw (Henry 2kd).
I have read some literature from Polyphaser and ICE - each say that his is
the better and the other brand has a lot of defects, of course!
I need your suggestions for deciding the model that I will buy!
Many thanks es 73
