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

I hope the MFJ-270 never gets to be tested. I am placing two of these for each antenna. One at the base of the antenna and another at the back of the house. Hope to cut down on EFI along the coax. Trying to cut down on noise returning to the Ham Shack.

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

Thank You

This product is designed to bleed off static charges. As the packaging states, this product will not protect your equipment against a direct lightning strike. Be sure to follow electrical codes and safety measures.

So far they havent been tripped by lightening or anything but I have them installed on two HAM antennas attached to my minivan. My SWR remains below 1.4 and there is no perceivable interference. The grounding screw makes it easier to ground too.

Im satisfied with this product.

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.

Another nice quality product from MFJ!

I liked it for the size.

For now , I am using this with a end fed SWL antenna. It is my hope to obtain a Ham radio license in the future and with that in mind , my purchase of this device will work with any modest transceiver.
