[Elecraft] potential of static damage

Hi Ron and Elecrafters,

a couple of months ago we had a strike of lightning nearby, and I had left
the antenna connected to my K2. There was no damage other than a "confused"
K2: I had to do a full reset and re-program my personal settings.

After this experience I rearranged the layout of the antenna feeders to
allow for easy disconnecting the antennas from the rigs after operation.
