Not sure about arrestor, but Standing Wave Ratio(SWR) only applies if you transmit using this antenna, not receive. Therefore, it has no real significance....

I've been a fan of Diamond since I purchased the SRH 320. But, correct me if I'm wrong: 1:1 SWR is a perfect match load to impedance. Impossible to be "less...
