[Elecraft] K3 Antenna static bleed

Forgive me, I'm having a hard time with the schematic:

Does my K3 have an RF choke or a high value resistor across the antenna 
input[s] to bleed the static charge?  For some reason, I'm getting more 
precip static than I usually do.  At N6A in Alpine County for the 2009 
Cal QSO Party, we managed to fry the front ends of two ICOM 756 PRO II's 
from what seemed to be inconsequential snow static.  Don't want that to 
happen to my K3.
