Subject: [Icom] R75 went deaf after lightning

Hi,
while running my R75 receiver on an indoor dipole, a thunderstorm came
along.
While there was no direct hit to my house or in the close vicinity, the Rx
is
deaf nevertheless. My guess is that the closest lightning struck about 500
mtrs away from me.

Does anybody know where to start looking or how to indentify the faulty
component? The rx is deaf on all bands.

TIA,
Ekki, DF4OR
