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.

Well, it finally found me...
Around noon or so a thunderstrom formed very fast almost overhead.
Antennas were disconnected, but had a very close strike near my 60 m Force
12 Sigma 80 vertpcal dipole. I don't think it was a direct hit. Anyway,
heard a sound like a firecracker in the shack.
