Please describe the lightning protection for your amateur radio station and specifically whether you use "lightning arrestors" (with or without the belief they will arrest the lightning). (lemmy.radio)

I use Diamond SP1000 inline lightning protector

Why do you need DC to pass through the protector? This is one of the things I don't understand!

DC pass through is only needed if you're powering something over the coax like a pre amp or a remote coax switch.
