Polyphaser does make excellent surge supression gear they make it for all
communications services.  i.e. Broadcast Radio, television, cell sites,
gov't/military.

Being a ham I use their gear myself expensive but cheaper than a new rig.
Especially since the rig is connected to a structure designed to attract
electromagnetic fields.
