I am installing a AM/FM antenna for use in my shop and living in a remote area the signal loss is great.
I would like to use a best coax I can get even though my radio is using a Motorola plug for antenna.
It is a digital unit from a vehicle.
I can change the coax to the appropriate plug, not a problem.
the antenna is using a ham PL259 connector.
My question is this, I have looked at many many lighting arrestors and have asked many manufactures if their arrestors would allow the broadcast frequencies of the AM/FM signal to pass thru. 500khz - 1800 MHz but with no answers.
I would like to use the type with pl259 connector's so I can place right on the antenna.
But it they stop the signal it would be of no use.
I do plan on ground rods and bare copper wire for more protection but would like to buy a good arrestor that will allow my signals to pass thru.
DO any of you know of an arrestor that does this or will all of them work for AM/FM signals?
Thanks
Ron
