[Elecraft] Your thoughts on EMP and protecting K3/K2

[N2TK]

How about a lead, carbon lined steel box?
Your solid-state devices are going to get fried with an EMP strike. Doesn't
matter if they are powered or not or your rig is grounded or not.

Space and military systems like RAD hard tested devices, when they can get
them. Also, some of the commercial airline manufacturers are getting
involved with RAD hard devices. 

Want a shock - get pricing on a JANS RAD hard device. Even without the RAD
spec you will get shocked. JANTX and TXV aren't as bad but still pricey.

   With things ramping up internationally and talk
of possibility of either nucleur strike or dirty bombs,
what would be best way of protecting our gear? I know
that the radios are pretty tight for keeping signals
out and I have a very good ground system here. What
else can be done to protect our gear. 

Thanks and 73,

Bill N4ZI
