[TenTec] good surge suppressor

["Rob Atkinson, K5UJ" <k5uj@hotmail.com>]

The best surge protectors are not going to be found at some place like Best 
Buy.   I recommend the following:  Brickwall by Price Wheeler and the 
Industrial Communications Engineers protectors.  The ICE units are sold in 
the U.S. by Array Solutions, and you can look at them at the AS website, 
www.arraysolutions.com.   They are of high build quality and are reasonably 
priced.  They also have one for 240 v.  15 amp service which you won't find 
in many other places.

The Brickwall I use is 115 v. with two outlets.   Unlike the less expensive 
consumer grade products, it maintains its ability to protect after the first 
surge.  The cheaper MOV protectors experience a degredation of protection 
with each surge.   The Brickwall is also extremely fast.   Of course there 
is no free lunch and you have to pay for this--mine was around 200 bucks but 
if you are protecting a 3 or 4 thousand dollar piece of gear it is 
reasonable.
