Here in Central CA, we don't have many -- and my antenna and power leads 
come through a single-point entry with ICE protectors on them.  One 
possibility.

Another is that I drove the 86 with either an Elecraft K2, which does 
not have an overshoot problem, and a TS850s which I make sure to adjust 
for minimum or no overshoot.

I don't know if SWR, as someone mentioned, is the issue.  I made a few 
antenna-switching mistakes which resulted in the amp tripping out on 
reflected power without blowing the fuse.
