Please see the "Front End Protection Diodes"

section.

From that page:

"This condition could occur when walking accross a carpet with rubber soled
shoes and touching the whip antenna when the receiver is AC powered or when
the receiver is connected to a long wire."

Does ESD damage only take place when using AC power or using an external
antenna?
