      Polyphaser's LNZ line of arrestors will pass DC.  They're advertised as 
intended for use with GPS systems that require DC for outdoor electronics.  You 
can read about them at http://www.polyphaser.com/productdata.aspx?class=lnz .

      I'm guessing you can order them through any Polyphaser distributor.  My 
choice is The RF Connection ( www.therfc.com .)

Subject: [TowerTalk] DC Pass Lightining Arrestors


I have done a search of the TT archives and found many references to PolyPhaser 
making a DC pass arrestor but have been unsuccessful in finding said item. I 
presently use the Alpha Delta Transitraps but would like to upgrade to either 
PolyPhaser or ICE. Both of these are DC blocked to the best of my knowledge.  
Does PolyPhaser or ICE make a DC pass unit that I just overlooked or do I have 
to factor in the cost of a new antenna switch (presently using a RCS-4 with 
control voltage on the coax)? Or perhaps is there an alternative to the "Big 
Two"?

On a side note I found a interesting web page on ICE's website that extols the 
virtues of ICE over PolyPhaser and it makes interesting reading. I understand 
they make a case for their own product but still interesting.
