[Elecraft] Need K3 Board

[Bob McGraw]

In reading this, it brings a point of history to mind.  If the equipment 
was damaged by a thunderstorm or lightning, my personal experience, is 
that one's homeowner's insurance should pay replacement cost, less the 
deductible.   I'm no insurance specialist and I'm sure policies are 
different in this regard. However, what I learned is that an "electrical 
surge" which damaged equipment will be covered at the depreciated value 
of the equipment.  Yet, lightning damage which damaged equipment will be 
paid at replacement value.   There is a BIG DIFFERENCE!

Yes, one has to prove lightning damage, it can be done, but is it worth 
getting a new radio vs. having to scrounge around to find parts and 
repair an existing radio.    I know, in one instance, I had some $12K in 
damage from lightning.   I had to pay the $1000 deductible  but 
everything was replaced NEW!    TV's, surround sound systems, satellite 
receivers, telephones, microwave, ham radios, ham amplifiers,  garage 
door openers, and such.

Persistence pays!
