To add to what I just posted, Wayne just posted a link to a K4 manual that states:

ESD and Lightning Protection: Even though the the K4 has extensive internal protective circuitry, external protection against lightning strikes is strongly recommended, especially in lightning-prone areas. During storms and when the station is not in use for an extended period, disconnect ALL equipment from the radio, including antennas, the power supply, routers or hubs, and computers. Ethernet, USB, and RS232 cables are a frequent source of damaging surge voltages.
