Nelson, you might check with your Electrical Power company. KCP&L will
install surge protection at the meter and guarantee at replacement value
any electronics items that are damaged. I believe the cost is around
$4.95 per month plus tax. You may have something similar in your area.
Good luck!
Joe, K0JN
