I know it's been posted before, but it's the place for the answers:
Check out http://www.polyphaser.com/ and click on Technical Information.
Look for PTD1016 Ham Radio Station Protection.  There's other very 
interesting articles as well.

Everything depends on your location, how much money ur willing to part with 
for piece of mind, and how much risk you are willing to take--both personal 
& equipment wise.

Good reading!
