[RTTY] Followup on ESD from last week

[Bill Turner <dezrat1242@yahoo.com>]

Got the report from the factory on my non working IC-7600. Turns out it was ESD 
damage. Three diodes and one IC were destroyed on the tuner control board. Not 
covered by warranty of course, so that learning experience cost me $223.45  
plus shipping of $85 each way. Ouch.

There never was any lightning, just that kind of precipitation static I've 
heard hundreds of times before, but will never hear again more than a fraction 
of a second.  :-) 


Take a lesson, boys and girls. 

73, Bill W6WRT
