[Elecraft] question about Elecraft receivers

[Monty Shultes]

Regarding induced voltages, my K3's serial port and line audio ports were damaged by induced voltages.  The receiver was fine - the antennas had been disconnected, but not the connecting cables.  I now disconnect everything, including the ground wire, during lightning storms and have had no further problem.  Florida is the lightning capital of North America, if not the world.
