OPERATING SWR IS NOWHERE NEAR INFINITY, SO A 3000 W UNIT SHOULD DO.  TO
FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH YOUR LIGHTNING ARRESTER CAN HANDLE, LOOK AT THE
SPECIFICATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER.  SOMETIMES THIS WILL BE IN WATTS,
WHICH CAN BE CONVERTED TO VOLTS, OR WHATEVER UNITS YOUR MANUFACTURER USES.
IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT ARCING WITH A HIGH SWR, ALPHA DELTAS 2000 W
LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR CAN HANDLE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN A 3 1 SWR WITH
A LARGE RESERVE.  POLYPHASER AND MORGAN SYSTEMS BOTH MAKE A 3000 W UNIT
