I have one installed and does not affect my VSWR. It is a straight through. A loose connection would affect the VSWR. **Q: What type of wire do I use to ground it** A: I used a single strand of 10 gauge copper wire. **Q: What is the second screw for? Is it for mounting?** A: it is an additional ground screw ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good hardware *by R***R on February 12, 2026* Good quality component ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HONEST REVIEW *by A***N on May 20, 2025* ITEM AS DESCRIBED, THE FIT IS GREAT FOR MY GMRS SETUP, GREAT VALUE FOR THE COST, SO FAR, PAIRED WITH A GMRS ANTENNA AND 20 WATT RADIO, IT HAS HAD NO NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE FUNCTIONALITY, SIGNAL STRENGTH, RECEPTION OF MY RADIO, I AM TALKING OFF A REPEATER 35-40 MILES FROM MY HOME WITH NO REPORTED ISSUES.

It now gives me that peace of mind knowing that I have some level of protection in case my antennas get hit by lightning and are connected to my radio equipment. Hopefully I never have to replace it and it continues to give me that peace of mind. My outside antennas are mounted on 1" PVC and the Lightning Arrestor fits perfectly inside with the grounding wire attached. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lightning ARRESTOR for CB or Ham Base Antennas - Workman A28 - RFAdapter RG8x Coaxial Cable, CB Coax Cable, 50ft UHF PL259 Male to Male Low Loss CB Antenna Cables, 50 Ohm for HAM Radio, Antenna Analyzer - Tram 1477-B Pre-Tuned 144MHz–148MHz VHF/430MHz–460MHz UHF Amateur Dual-Band Base Antenna, Black Fiberglass, 43" Tall --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/35998846-lightning-arrestor-for-cb-or-ham-base-antennas-workman-a28](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/35998846-lightning-arrestor-for-cb-or-ham-base-antennas-workman-a28) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
