For those that are worried about lightning damaging equipment over
Ethernet (is that LoE?) or have long CAT5e or CAT6 cable runs, might
I suggest copper Ethernet to fiber converters? One can put an
unmanaged switch at the operating position, and connect it to the
household router or even to another building ( some of these can go 2
or more km.) Prices for a pair start at about $150 and go up. Keeps
Ethernet cables nice and short. --Mike, WV2ZOW

I can't speak specifically to this amp, but most of the new rigs
can run
direct, or use an IP for remote operation. The newer rigs here
all have
CAT-5, or CAT-6 connections. Each rig has an NIC so they can run
of the
router giving them the ability to be run local, or remote via the
Internet. Once properly configured many, if not most newer
rigs/stations can be operated via the Internet
Fortunately none of the rigs were hooked into the network when a
nearby
lightning strike induced enough voltage in the CAT-5 gigabit
network to
do quite a bit of damage to stuff hooked to the network. As solid
state
stuff can be HURT without failing at the time I'm still seeing
computers
"it appears" failing from that strike and these are leading edge,
if not
bleeding edge monsters. (IOW expensive) Even with all the grounding
system, a more recent strike took out the Diamond dual band 144/440
antenna and everything downstream except the rig. It even fried
the 30A
PS. The new antenna should be here today. Now I gotta figure out
how to
get the old one down and the new one up.
