   Hi Daryl,   
      
   DS>   In short, it's no contest. I'd rather be offline a few hours or   
   DS> days, rather than permanently, from a lightning strike.   
      
   Remember to also unplug all cables from the radios because the electric   
   charge from a lightning strike also enters the radio via the cables.   
      
   A fellow hams transceiver was destroyed by the charge from a strike via   
   the microphone cord connected to the set.
