Hi Commercial units designed for cell tower use often show up on eBay for sub $20 prices. Since they are set up for the frequency (1.5 GHz), the levels (RX, so no power), and the purpose there isn't a lot of need for anything else. Last time I bought some, they came as part of a kit that also included the ground strapping and various other useful bits and pieces.

Viscarola Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 10:45 AM To: time-nuts@febo.com Subject: [time-nuts] Surge Arresters Hi TimeNuts, What are people using for surge arresters between your GPS receiver and the antenna, at the entrance to your house? I've got an entrance panel set up for HF, with copper ribbon to two ground rods. I'd like to add a connection for my GPSDO. I know the frequency is about 1.6GHz, and the active antennas use 5V or less... is that correct? What are the parameters I should consider when selecting an arrester? An associated question, also, if I may: Does it matter if I use different types of cable between the antenna and the entrance panel and then entrance panel and the GPS receiver? Thanks for your guidance, Peter K1PGV _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
