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

[Don Ehrlich]

EMP is ElectroMAGNETIC Pulse.  The only shielding that is effective is a 
high permeability enclosure (steel, nickel, etc).  Electronics in aluminum 
enclosures are as vulnerable as breadboards ... well, almost as vulnerable. 
My guess is that there is no effective was for ordinary folks to protect 
their stuff.  The military uses permeable enclosures, conduit, etc.
