SNIPPED

HI,

Good to read : http://www.astrosurf.org/lombry/qsl-...protection.htm

Personnaly, in my humble opinion, under thundery weather there is no better
solution than unpluging all electronic devices...

Agree! But, I still lost an ICOM 756 Pro II when disconnected from
antenna,
and had the power supply unplugged. A ground loop in the external ground on
the 756 and the power supply, where 12 volt return is tied to chassis,
caused
damage to the power connector on the 756 and fried the 756 internal
cabling and
circuit boards were carbonized.

I'm still waiting for my insurance settlement.
