[PCR-1000] ZAPTRAP

I just want to say that protecting the PCR-1K against statics makes
good sense. Just got mine back from ICOM, it was gone deaf on the
HF bands, and the diagnose was "static overload to the frontend",
and that is not covered by the warranty, so it cost me 200$ to 
have it replaced.
