Until K9YC's post I was not aware of the Array Solutions lightning arrestor. They appear be a nice product. How do GDT's fail - open or closed? If open, how do you know that they need replacement?

I've recently switched to the arrestors that Array Solutions sells, both because I like the circuit better and because the gas discharge tubes are user replaceable. The Polyphasers are feed-through types mounted to the entry panel. The Array Solutions are mounted in a big Hoffman box, for which W6GJB built some custom mounting brackets. It's mounted to the wall next to the plate with the Polyphasers, with two 2-in PVC conduit stubs going through the wall and holes drilled at the bottom of the enclosure for coax entry. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
