Bingo!! That's what I was looking for.
Now if I can just get Motorola to finish their registration procedure...
Takes 2 - 3 DAYS to get approved to browse that portion of the website??
Oh well.
Thanks everyone!

I have the same problem... And be prepared to wait up to 3 days to get
approval... Someone from Motorola will contact me(you) to finish the
process.

I use Polyphaser arresters for my repeater system... I prefer not to think
of any lightning protection system or component as budget - all you need is
to take one lightning strike, and budget goes right out the window!! I
planned for expenses related to lightning protection when I

The going price for Polyphasers are about $65.00 wholesale. They are
available with UHF and N Type Connectors. When I use my spare, I go to E-Bay
and start watching. I buy them for about $25.00 IN THE BOX. Make sure you
check the frequencies that you bid on. They come in different frequency
Thank you for the reply but it was not helpful in that it did not offer an
answer to the question. I was asking for suggestions of equipment on a

Also I think his thought was you can not spend enough on lighting
arrestors. been there and still doing that. buy good cause it really does
count.

I prefer Alpha Delta. They have one model that covers
all frequencies and is rated for 200 watts. They
normally have UHF connectors; you have to pay $5 more
for N connectors. They're about $50 new. I get mine
from Universal Radio, HRO, or AES.

Thank you Mark. I will look up the Polyphaser arrestors so that I can price
them . I have been looking at a number of GAS type arrestors but since my
experience was lacking in this area I felt that your answer was very
helpful. Steve

There are some decent units made by other companies than PolyPhaser.
I.C.E. is one that comes to mind.
However, your real expense isn't with the feedline protection. Keep in
mind that you will need to have powerline protection and a single-point
ground system. The grounding grid will likely
Thanks Jim and I am in the process of looking at the Polyphasers as Mark had
recommennded them and the name was also in the repeater builder check list.
I will check EBAY as well . Thanks Again !

I am sorry it was not meant as a snide remark. It was a truism or pearl of

not smoking the last 4 or 5 months got to me! You were correct to question
the budget Lightning remark and I should of been more explicit. I have been
looking on the web and have found so many arresters from 30-400

I think you got pointed in the right direction. If you need detailed info on
grounding, the company I work for has an engineering team that just works
grounding for communication sites. And much of what they reference is the
same info you were pointed to. A few years back I shared

I would buy a new antenna. If yours looks like any of the ones I took down the
phasing section is weathered. I think I've scrapped all of my G6-G7 parts.

Steve,
This is a topic that has many proponents of certain brands or grounding
methods. I liken it to the way some people (usually guys) talk about motor
oil. You know the type: Well, I never use anything but Castrol GTX in MY

The one I had to replace the base on was in perfect shape otherwise. It
had been in service for only a year or two when the 110' tower collapsed
with the G7 on top. Amazingly the base was the only damaged part of the
antenna, lying right next to a smashed $2000 Bogner.
