Both DX Engineering and the Wireman sell arresters.

Haven't had any (that I know of) close hits here but the same arrangement at my last house kept all my radio gear safe on a VERY close hit.  Blew the insulation off some coax lead-ins!  They looked strange in bare copper braid.  Also took out the lawn sprinkler controller, the phone system, and every network card in the house. But the radios were fine.
