Sorry, but with that sort of question, the only practical answer is that you
start looking somewhere inside the K2 enclosure.

You will have to define 'deaf' a bit better.  If it works OK, then there is
nothing wrong!!!  We can help best if you are clear and unambiguous in your
descriptions.  If it has weak receive signals, that is another matter, and
you should try the Reciever Signal Tracing outlined in the Troubleshooting
part of the K2 manual.  If the receiver has no output at all (not even
noise) then start tracing in the audio stages and work your way toward the
antenna until you find the dead stage.

Once you isolate to one or 2 stages, we can help you isolate the failing
components.  One consequence of lightning zaps is there may be multiple
failed components, find them one at a time.
