[TenTec] Another Lightning Srike

[Jeff Griffin]

  Sorry to hear of your problem. If the lightning got into the PC, it 
probably got to the O2 through the com port. I lost a Yaesu 847 that way 
years ago. When there are thunderstorms predicted, I disconnect the antennas 
and the com port from my O1.
