Interesting question, QST some years back had a featured article on this. The gist of it as I recall was an EMP from a nuclear blast 5 miles above land would destroy all consumer devices utilizing integrated circuits. Only highly protected devices as might be used by the military would be possibly protected. Note the ambiguity here...
The old "all tube" gear would supposedly be un-affected. So our K3s in the event of such an event would be non-functioning afterward. Get em while they're hot!
