In reading this, it brings a point of history to mind. If the equipment
was damaged by a thunderstorm or lightning, my personal experience, is
that one's homeowner's insurance should pay replacement cost, less the
deductible. I'm no insurance specialist and I'm sure policies are
different in this regard. However, what I learned is that an "electrical
surge" which damaged equipment will be covered at the depreciated value
of the equipment. Yet, lightning damage which damaged equipment will be
paid at replacement value. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE!
Yes, one has to prove lightning damage, it can be done, but is it worth
getting a new radio vs. having to scrounge around to find parts and
repair an existing radio. I know, in one instance, I had some $12K in
damage from lightning. I had to pay the $1000 deductible but
everything was replaced NEW! TV's, surround sound systems, satellite
receivers, telephones, microwave, ham radios, ham amplifiers, garage
door openers, and such.
Persistence pays!

A good friend's K3 was damaged in a thunderstorm several months ago. After
thinking it was repaired he now knows the KIO3B Digital IO Board is flaky.
Elecraft has none. Anyone have a good one for sale?
