APPENDIX A. AL 1 Lightning Arrestor
The AL 1 Lightning Arrestor is used to protect transmitters and receivers from
transients originating from lightning or EMP.
The AL 1 is gas tube-based and is not radioactive. The gas discharge tube can
sustain several transients if the time period between transients is sufficient to
allow the tube to cool down.
