It installs in the coax through ports labeled IN and OUT, and it has a labeled GND stud for grounding. EMP Shield builds its radio protectors for radios, transceivers, base stations and antennas facing EMP, lightning and electrical surges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield's radio line comes in 200, 500, 1000 and 1500 watt ratings, and this page covers the 1500 watt units. Two connector options are offered: ANT-1500-N with N connectors in a blue body, and ANT-1500-UHF with UHF connectors. The power rating stays at 1,500 watts with either choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMP Shield Radio EMP Protection Up To 1500 Watts Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA 1500 Watt Rating For Stations Above 1000 Watts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStations that run above 1,000 watts are past the limit of the 1000 watt unit.
