[Elecraft] KAT500 antenna port grounding?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

The schematic shows a 1 Meg resistor to ground and a gas discharge 
device, SA1, SA2, SA3 on each antenna port.  Also when the unit is not 
powered, it defaults to ANT 1 in the Bypass mode.

Any lightning protection for your station should be accomplished outside 
of the house BEFORE the feed lines enter the structure. Once inside, 
it's too late.
