MFJ-270 Lightning Arrester DC-1GHz, UHF-F/F 400W by MFJ

I sure hope I never have to test this, meaning, I hope my antenna never gets hit by lightning. However, Im happy that I included it on my antenna setup, just the same. Ive had it inline to my antenna for a while now. It hasnt negatively affected performance of the antenna that Ive been able to detect. It didnt change the impedance or SWR either.

Have not had any problems TX or RX on 2 meters.

A little pricey but solidly built. Nice fit and finish. Hopefully it offer some protection to the radio gear. I still disconnect the antenna from the radio during storms as it is unlikely this would protect in the event of a direct lightning strike.

As described

I liked it for the size.

does the job

This arrested has some weight to it. I am positive that it will do the job.

Correct item with no visual defects.

Another nice quality product from MFJ!

Its perfect for hams to ground their antenna shield to help prevent damage to their radios. It safely discharges static electricity caused by the wind or nearby lightning strikes. If you get a direct hit by lightning there isnt anything made to protect your rig. I have one for each of my antennas.
