Hi All: It looks like we took an EMP hit at home from nearby lightning just last night. The XYL was up with the baby and said the whole house lit up sometime after midnight. So far, it appears I've lost a TV, laser printer, the shack PC, all the outdoor security cameras, and my internet service.
As for radio gear, my Astron VS-35M power supply was showing low voltage output, but a power recycle corrected that. The Elecraft K3 was actually powered off and disconnected from the antennas, but it was throwing errors when I powered it up. I assume that was from the connection to the computer. I did a soft reset and it seems to have recovered, but I need to do more thorough testing. The KX3 was only connected to power and was powered off, and it seems to be OK so far. The other ham radios seem to be OK, except for an old 1990s-era Radio Shack scanner that likely can't be replaced. I may crack that one open and see if there's something obvious that can be repaired. Any advice for what other checks I should perform on my house and equipment (especially my K3 and KX3) to check for hidden gremlins before I start calling the insurance companies and getting the claims process rolling? --- Chuck Milam, N9KY [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
