To add to what I just posted, Wayne just posted a link to a K4
manual that states:
ESD and Lightning Protection: Even though the the K4 has
extensive internal protective circuitry, external protection
against lightning strikes is strongly recommended, especially in
lightning-prone areas. During storms and when the station is not
in use for an extended period, disconnect ALL equipment from the
radio, including antennas, the power supply, routers or hubs,
and computers. Ethernet, USB, and RS232 cables are a frequent
source of damaging surge voltages.
