Polyphaser arrestors are good if your antenna is dc grounded. My Mosley beam is NOT dc grounded so I went with the Morgan Manufacturing arrestors. They ground the shield and center conductor of your coax, thus keeping a constant static drain on your feedline and antenna.

Was looking for reviews of exterior entry points for coax fed antennas and found this. Great content, looks like a huge box, but can see the need if multiple antennas.

LOL! An hour before I found this Review, I ordered an entry panel from Chris.

You’ll be happy with it!

"...at least LMR-600" I don't think so. LMR-400 is EASILY good enough for VHF/UHF (unless I suppose you have a long run - say, hundreds of feet. In that case, you might be able to measure some difference in loss. But I think it would work fine even then.)

Glad to see you're uploading content again 👍

That really is very nice. And for the candy bonus oh yeah! Definitely a sweet bonus! Pun intended. But in all seriousness I do like the box though I do believe it would be better to have cutouts instead of the rubber grommets already installed opening every entry point. So as you did not have to worry about plugging open holes with something less than a steal. barrier

Coming to the party late as usual. Nice vid! :-)

[@jarrettmaryframe2278]

What diameter is the conduit that runs from the entry panel back into the shack?

[@regsherwood4214]

How thick is the copper plate?

[@alvarogaitan2529]

Wear a lav mic.

[@herrprepper2070]

Much nonsense. Simply unplug the cords when not using the radio.
