Hello,
Have a new WinRadio receiver, and am a bit concerned about protecting it's front end from possible damage due to ESD ElectroStatic Discharge, effects, etc. I do receiving only, and have an end-fed PAR antenna outside, feeding the receiver by about a 30 foot run of coax from the antenna. At the antenna, I have an ICE lightning protector, and a copper bar as a ground point, there. No idea if the ICE unit has a bleed resistor for dissipating any static buildups. Too advanced in years now to build anything myself incorporating Zeners, Varistors, or whatever, so would like to find, if you folks feel it's worth doing (?), a small box unit with bnc's on both end, that would provide good and safe ESD protection that I would locate indoors right next to the radio's input. Any thoughts or suggestions ? Brand, Model Number, or just forget as probably not needed ? BTW: Nice article on ESD at: http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/01/Spring/Lee.html Thanks, Bob |
