Just ordered one.
Also, my Ten Tec RX320D had the front end blown out in a bad storm this AM while I was asleep :(
Ouch. For the heck of it I checked the schematic for a lamp fuse or something easy, didn't see it. But likely fixable unless a near direct hit.
We're not in an area that has so much of that but still must take precautions. Our group's repeater site suffered a strike some years ago that took out pretty much everything in the building. We had the usual arresting gear installed but nothing will protect from a direct or near direct hit. It was tough because we built that site from the bare ground, including a lot of the electronic gear in the building.
Our damage was about 50 grand and I think between our tenants they may have had a bit more. But everyone was insured, so for us just a matter of long weekends and late nights to rebuild. Got hit again the next year but it wasn't a scrap everything & start over scenario like the big one.
