[Elecraft] ESD Damage Question

[Mike Thornton]

I have my K3 on order, and plan to take all of the standard ESD precautions when I build it.  My question is about after it is built and in operation.

I just got through paying to have a new control board put in my Kenwood TS-2000 because it apparently had some ESD damage.  I always disconnect my gear during thunderstorms, etc., so I assume it came in as a result of having the audio input and output and data lines connected to other equipment.  I would hate to have a repeat of that situation with the K3.  Does anyone have any thoughts about the K3 and static damage or any special precautions that should be taken?

Thanks for your help.
