[TenTec] Argonaut VI Lost RX/TX on 160/80 Meters

[Reed]

Yep Stuart that is one thing I always do.  If I'm not using rig, antenna 
is disconnected & dc power is removed from switched outlets.  Also power 
supply is turned off at master switch which is connected to APC UPS.  
Spikes from power supply being turned on connected to rig can, on some 
rigs, zap components inside of rig especially switching power supply.  
That has happened to a number of Yaesu FT-817.

With all the large scale surface mount devices in modern rigs today I 
believe I will order a Alpha Delta coax surge protector to help 
discharge the build up of static electricity from antenna.  Just having 
the shield grounded to ground rod I guess is not enough anymore.
