I live in an area with high monsoon thunderstorm activity. I doubt that any of the 
protection devices would > survive. I disconnect everything where it enters my 
radio shack.

I live near Spencer, and 100% concur with his recommendation. Put a Jones plug at the control box and keep it disconnected during the thunderstorm season unless you are actually on-the-air. If you are using a computer connection to the control box, disconnect that also.
