- Suppressors using gas tubes should not degrade a line.
- A suppressor that used MOVs or diodes could degrade the line.
- Telco suppressors which use carbon blocks can cause degradation,
- particularly after they take some hits. I have heard that the
- old carbon blocks can be replaced with gas tubes (by the telco).
