*/I had an event several years ago where something hit Charter Cable 
several miles away the hit came in through the internet cable, hit the 
modem took out everything connected by
Ethernet cable back to the Motorola Modem.
The list includes .....
Motorola Modem
Wifi router
Magic Jack Plus
Dell 8400 that was connected via the Ethernet cable
And U1 I think it was on the K3 ki03 board which was connected via cable 
to the Dell 8400.

There never was a lightning event that I saw or heard, if the Dell would 
have been connected to the Wire Less WIFI and not hard wired via a cable 
the radio and computer would have been ok.
I took the ocasion to send the radio back to Elecraft and have it 
updated there service is better than the best I sold a house full of 
Yaesu gear and never looked back.
