What about Snow static on the main antenna and danger to the rcv? It
is fairly high voltage and I assume not much current? I had a bunch
during the 10 meter contest. Those of us in the north country hear it
snapping in the antenna switch quite regularly if not grounded during
the winter time. I have never had trouble with previous radios but
wondered since I have read comments about induced power from a passing
thunder storm so in these cases you should unhook the K3.
Every antenna jack in the K3 includes a static-charge bleeder resistor.
If you see DC build-up despite this, let me know and we'll think of
something else.
