Thanks for the reply but we aren't interested in the hardwired variety.

Thanks for the information. I will look into the Surge Guard.

Still not interested in hardwired but glad it is working for you.

Glad you haven't had any problems. They seem to be a great company but there products have some problems.

We have the hardwired EMS which is really a top notch product. This is the portable one from Progressive, https://www.progressiveindustries.net/ems-pt50x

I have looked at the link you provided. Thanks. Will have to decide if I want to pay that much when I have had so many problems with the SSP.

Thanks for the response. Guess we will be giving that one another look.
