Hi Angel, EA4DUT

Just to remember this is the link

I understand but the above filter/protection withstand much
more and tested with 400 watt in to the input less than 80 mW
was measured at the output.

While dimensions are for 70 cm they can be scaled in to any
VHF/UHF/SHF  band adding filtering to protection and it is
very inexpensive and reliable.
