[Elecraft] K3 Repair

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

I too would place lightning damage into the "Acts of Nature" category 
and not a warranty consideration.  A warranty covers premature component 
failures and failure to perform to specification, which is different IMHO.
For a comparison example, a new automobile has a warranty period, but if 
a tree falls on it and it is damaged, would that be a warranty repair? - 
I think not - that is why we have insurance coverage for those kind of 
catastrophic events.

73,
