I also received a link to:

<https://dl4zao.de/projekte/index.html#a1642> which is also an
antenna disconnect. Note that the web page is in German, but you
can download an English version of the manual.

A device that only disconnects the antenna fixes only part of
the problem. What I would really like is a box that covers all
the radio's connections.

It may not be necessary to cover all the connections. Elecraft
support probably has a good idea of what in the radio survives
nearby lightning strikes and what dies.
