FireStik (AR-10) - In-Line UHF Lightening & Static
Arrestor
Description:
This connector along with a properly installed ground
wire and rod offers a low resistance path that will allow
atmospheric static and electrical charges to be totally
or partially bled off to earth ground. Redirecting these
interfering charges will reduce and/or eliminate much of
the hissing and popping noise heard in the receiver. The
bleed may also save damage to the receiver circuits. The
AR-10 can (should?) be used with CB's, scanners,
amateur radio equipment and other antenna utilizing
devices.
Disconnect the coaxial connector at your base antenna,
install the AR-10 and reconnect the coaxial cable. Then,
run a copper ground wire from the connector housing to
earth ground.
For best results, FireStik recommends that the ground
wire be at least 10 gauge copper and that the connector
is soldered to the wire to protect against corrosion
causing resistance. Also, for best results, it is best to
use a copper grounding rod that has been driven into the
earth several feet. Copper ground rods are readily
available at most home improvement stores or farm supply
businesses.
