It sits in your coax run between the radio and the antenna, with one connector marked IN, one marked OUT and a GND stud on the side of the housing. EMP Shield designs it to defend radios, transceivers, base stations and antennas from electromagnetic pulses (EMP), coronal mass ejections (CME), lightning strikes and power surges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 200 watt member of EMP Shield's radio line. EMP Shield states it protects ham radio and RF antenna systems from 1 to 200 watts, so it fits operators, emergency communications specialists and first responders whose stations stay at or under that level. You pick the connector when you order. The UHF option (ANT-200-UHF) has a black body, and the N option (ANT-200-N) has a blue body. Both carry the same 200 watt rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMP Shield Radio EMP Protection Up To 200 Watts Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOne Inline Unit Covers EMP, CME, Lightning And Surges\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield states that this ham RF model protects against all three phases of an EMP (E1, E2 and E3), as well as CME, lightning and all forms of power surges. A single device on the coax handles that whole list for a station running up to 200 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSub-Nanosecond Response Moves Surges Away From Your Radio\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield says its technology begins shunting over-voltage in less than one nanosecond.

The label also prints the model number, so you can confirm the 200 watt rating and the connector type before you install it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTesting And Listing Reported By EMP Shield\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield reports testing at Keystone Compliance to MIL-STD-188-125-1, MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464C and RS-105, and notes that Keystone Compliance does not endorse products. EMP Shield also states its products are listed by the Department of Homeland Security in its EMP resilience report.

The EMP Shield unit stays in the coax line, so the radio can remain connected to its antenna and ready to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe 200 Watt Model Versus The 500 Watt Model\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth share the same connector choices and the same IN, OUT and GND layout. The difference is the power rating. If your station already runs above 200 watts, or you expect to raise your power later, the 500 watt version gives you that room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuyer Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChoosing The Power Rating\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield offers this radio protector in 200, 500, 1000 and 1500 watt ratings. Match the rating to the top power your station transmits. If your radio or amplifier can go past 200 watts, choose one of the larger versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChoosing The Connector And Installing It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder the UHF option if your coax ends in UHF (SO-239 style) connectors, or the N option if it ends in N connectors. Connect the line at the IN and OUT ports, make the ground connection at the GND stud, and follow EMP Shield's installation instructions for the radio models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis May Be A Good Fit If\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour station transmits at 200 watts or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour coax uses UHF or N connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want protection that stays in place while you operate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou run a ham, emergency or base station radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Changes Between The UHF And N Options?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree things change: the connector type, the model number (ANT-200-UHF or ANT-200-N) and the body color, black for UHF and blue for N. The 200 watt rating is the same for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I Use This Unit On A Station Above 200 Watts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. EMP Shield rates this model for systems up to 200 watts. For more power, step up to the 500, 1000 or 1500 watt model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere Does The Unit Go In My Station?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt goes inline in the coax at the IN and OUT connectors, with a ground at the GND stud.
