I do not worry about a static discharge if the antenna is grounded.
Hell, if lightning its your house all you are going to worry about is
your radio? I am
thinking this is a good time to have the insurance paid up...

Is the static discharge unit only to protect the


radio? I was under the impression that it would

Unplugging the coax from the radio when not in use comes pretty darn close.
