I recently had a Hi RFI alarm, I could not clear it,
ended up being the KIO3 board set had a problem, since I had a
new one on hand to upgrade to, installing it solved the HI RFI
problem.
Looking back it seems that my failure came from a lightning pulse,
not a strike but a nearby cloud to cloud and it burned out the ant
input on the KIO3..
Yours may be much different, just relating my problem with HI RFI.
