Easy to install... wait and see  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
This is one of those reviews where the proof will be in the pudding. The install has its quirks, the tower is 66 feet from mast top to base with a Force 12 XR-5 and a 3 E 6M beam. A Ham IV rotates the 2 inch mast. A surge unit is tied in at the base of the tower and the headend of the install. Give it some time being located in Florida-Tampa. Time will tell on the setup if it makes it. The headend location is on the second floor, capacitance will be an issue on the install.

visit n9rlr.com for more info and pics.

another posting will follow after hurricane season '09.

But for the untested it is easy to install and has the brackets to install easier than polyphaser or I.C.E units.

Saved Me  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
Everyone knows that the weather has been strange lately. Well my new antenna system had a "surge instance" with a nearby lightening hit during the IARU contest weekend. My AS-8SP no doubt saved me from potentially replacing my ProSisTel 61D controller. 3 of 5 suppressors blew and saved the day. I moved the three lines to the remaining three unused connections and will now order replacement parts to be prepared if it happens again. Many thanks to Jay for his support and the great equipment at Array Solutions.
