The only things that Elecraft should do to prevent lightning damage are 
to properly terminate cable shields to the shielding enclosure at the 
point of entry, properly terminate power system safety ground contacts, 
the the shielding enclosure, and otherwise practice proper bonding 
within their products.

The rest of it is up to us. About a week ago, I posted a link to 
tutorial slides for talks that I've done on the topic. EVERYTHING shown 
is good engineering practice to prevent lightning damage, and much of it 
also minimizes issues with RFI. Anything that we fail to do is an open 
door for lightning damage.
