Not to belabor, but wanted to be sure it was understood that no physical damage to any of the electronics that were damaged by lightning was ever found, nor any lightning entrance to the house. It had to be antennas, power lines, or cable induction. Since the former were disconnected, I concluded it was induction. The nature of the damage bears this out - interfaces inoperative, power supplies and fuses OK, radio front ends OK. In the one case where I could replace the(RS232) chips, the equipment was fixed. I have replaced computer sound cards, motherboard sound circuits and ports, and serial port cards many times after lightning storms.
On my K3, the digital IO and audio IO cards were damaged, as well as the RF board. Only Gary knows the full extent of the damage.
