[Elecraft] question about Elecraft receivers

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

No, *ALL* electronics are sensitive to this, including the stuff in your
washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners.

The amount of induced voltage from a "distant" lightning strike can
literally throw you across the room, minus your shoes.  Ask my son in law.
 It was induced voltage from a strike a quarter mile away.

Most of the prevention discussions and equipment relate to induced voltages.
 A direct strike does pretty much what it wants to regardless of what
prevention you have in.
