[Elecraft] Help me! Kpa100 broked during lightning

[Don Wilhelm]

Juha,

Whenever I had a lightning hit KPA100 to repair, I always replaced all 
the active devices (including all diodes) in the KPA100.
Even if the devices are not currently failing, there is a good chance 
that they have been stressed and will fail later.

If you are using a USB to serial adapter, that was likely damaged too.

73,
