Hi all;
I am starting to see our yearly peak of Lightning damaged radios come in
for repair, August through October.
It is MOST likely to come in through the COMM PORT connected to your
COMPUTER (via DSL or Cable Modem).
Those lines are LONG and run for miles, so a direct hit is not necessary
to do damage.
Customer quotes; "I disconnected everything, EXCEPT..." then they list
ONE item.
Spare K3 board supplies are low or gone.
Besides the most likely Comm Port, then obvious Antenna, I have seen
lightning come in other things connected to the K3, like;
DC power cord, ground, Paddle/Key, Key-Out to Amp etc.
