Like no other protective device in the world for RF coaxial cable lines, Morgan’s M-300 Series arrestors offer a complete, nearly perfect blocking/shunting system for induced voltages. Whether produced by lightning (directly or indirectly coupled), wind, rain, or snowfall MMI arrestors are continuously active, constantly draining transmission line center conductor to ground. The result? Solid protection for station equipment and related noise.
All M-300 Series units feature heavy discharge toroidal inductors used to neutralize developed voltages on the antenna side of a central high-voltage blocking capacitor. Inert gas tubes are used to limit the natural back-EMF voltages often induced across an inductor when large fast rising input currents are presented to the unit.
Sold and used worldwide, our arrestors are the first line of defense in lightning protection employed by such services as the U.S. Army, Boeing Corporation (Commercial Airplane Division), AT&T, NASA, and a wide variety of Commercial Broadcast, Public Safety, Emergency Relief, Government, and Amateur interests. Our arrestors can be found in the most stark surroundings, from dense African jungles to the vast wastelands of some of the world’s most punishing deserts. You can even drive a truck over the top of the chassis without damaging the contents (actually, you can do that to most MMI products).
Available models cover the frequency range from as low as 100KHz to 1,000MHz. with lots of connector choices. All units feature Teflon connectors. All may be mounted on flat surfaces, grounding bulkheads, or through-mounted using dual stainless steel grounding screws for mechanical fastening. Packaged with an informative owner’s manual. The arrestors are approx 3X3X2 inches.

Morgan Systems now providers of the legendary I.C.E. products! Morgan was formed in 2005 as a subcontractor for I.C.E., which had a 20-year history of building quality lightning and filtering equipment and accessories for the communications industry. With the untimely passing of the founder of ICE, Mike Koss (W9SU), Morgan Systems is carrying on the quality reputation of the ICE line and will be able to provide many of the products that professionals and amateurs have come to know. More Morgan products than listed below are available; email me for information. Check manufacturer’s website for more technical information.
Unshielded control line conductors used to operate remote switching operations, antenna rotators, and home weather stations are easily charged to thousands of volts potential referenced to ground by overhead lightning discharges, frequently causing severe damage to equipment. In the RF transmitting environment, these same leads often couple into transmitted energy and re-radiate signals at ground level, resulting in interference to nearby equipment tuned to other services.
Model 347 solves both problems in one convenient unit. Easy to install and virtually permanent, this suppressor shunts RF currents and voltages over 20V directly to facility ground terminal connection. This model is perfect for 12-14v remote switch controls and Alfa Spid rotators.
Model 348 is the same as above but shunts RF currents and voltages over 50V directly to facility ground terminal connection. Choose this model for most HyGain and Yaesu arrestors.
Model 349 is similar but for up to120v AC or DC connections.
Installation is a breeze and takes only a few moments. Each wire (up to 8 conductors on standard models and 12 conductors for the B models) entering from rotating unit or switch box may be attached to any of the 8/12 insulated terminals on the side of the unit. The same wire then continues from that connected point onward to control box destination. Connect the metal case to a ground rod or system and you’re all set. May be used indoors or outdoors, designed for flat surface mounting, includes stainless steel grounding terminals. Uses metal oxide varistor devices, AC or DC voltage rated, ceramic high-capacity RF bypassing components. Comes with owners manual.

Great protection for your SteppIR control lines!
Most modem electronic equipment devices are subject to interference from electromagnetic signals and noise entering via AC line power cords. DVD and Video cassette recorders, television sets, consumer audio gear and many telecommunications products are now being constructed with transformerless power supply technology, making each piece more sensitive than ever to line variations and interference. AC line filters offer an inexpensive alternative to the risk and unpleasantry of dealing with many types of line problems. MMI’s line filters are a complete package of inductive isolation, over voltage control, capacitive decoupling, and interference control of both common mode and differential mode signals across a broad frequency spectrum range. Several models offer currents to 20 Amps and up to 6 plug-in outlets.
Filters are constructed in a tough, single piece heavy chassis measuring 4″ square, and each includes 6 foot molded line cord, fuse (replaced if necessary from the outside), and stainless steel ground terminal.
All are designed for flat surface mounting and may be used with or without ground terminal connection. Performance improves if local ground connection can be made and if distance from filter body to ground is kept short. Each unit is packed with a informative owner’s manual and an extra fuse.

Models Available:
M-474-3, 120VAC, 50/60 HZ, 15 amp, 3 outlets with ground, 3 prong cord.
M-476-3, 120VAC, 50/60 HZ, 20 amp, 3 outlets with ground, 3 prong cord.
NOTE: M-476 uses a plug with one prong horizontal, and requires pictured outlet type.
Modern television and FM stereo systems are the most delicate ever built and can be easily damaged by voltage transients delivered by outside antennas or commercial cable systems. The only other installation requirement is a ground rod earth terminal connected to the chassis.
Model M-320 is a DC blocking arrestor that allows RF signals to pass through the unit, with a frequency range of 3MHz to 2GHz. It uses bleeder resistors to drain static and a gas discharge tube to shunt large surges to earth. Great for CATV, video systems, receive radio antennas, etc.
Model M-322 is a DC blocking arrestor that allows RF signals to pass through the unit, with a frequency range of 135KHz to 60MHz. It also has a toroid inductor from the center conductor to ground, acting as a constant static drain. This model is ideal for low band receive antennas such as beverages, loops, flags, etc. Can be used with 50 or 75 ohm systems.
Model M-325 is a DC passive unit with extremely wide frequency coverage from 0 to 2GHz. It is compatible with power on coax systems to provide low voltage power for pre-amp or switching relays through the coax. This product uses a gas discharge tube as rapid firing entrapment of large impulses and has bleeder resistors to drain static.

I wanted to let you know I received the AC line Filter yesterday, thanks. I plugged my new noisy refrigerator into the new filter and it worked - it removed the hash interference I was receiving on the 40 meter band. 40 meters is my favorite band for listening so it’s great to have it clear again!

All units use toroid inductors and present near dead DC short on antenna side of arrestor, constantly draining feedline wires of static and any developed voltage potential feedthrough breakdown voltage from input ports to output ports 4,000 to 6,000 volts. Arrestor units may be placed anywhere in the feedline at ground level without serious change in tuning, but small change may be detectable due “to small” increase in total feedline length caused by size of arrestor case & circuit. Models 308 and 309 series all rated for frequency range 1-30 MHz, non-DC continuous through ports, polarized. Units 308 & 309 are constructed in aluminum cases measuring (HWD) 11/2″ x 2″x 3″. Units include a 3 page owner’s manual.
M-476 requires 20A outlet as shown.
