Important: Outdoor antennas and radios ordinarily require lightning protection, to reduce the
likelihood damage to equipment or injury to personnel in case of lightning strike.
Lightning protection should be installed as close to the antenna as possible, and requires a
minimum 6 gauge wire (not supplied) connecting the lightning protector to ground. When properly
installed with a heavy gauge ground wire, the lightning protector is capable of protecting against
multiple lightning strikes.
