Red Fly

During our wait for the Blue Angel air show a few weeks back we got stuck in the storm that hit. A lightning strike near my boat took out my GPS. The unit would try to lock in but would not. Based on this I made the assumption that my external receiver the LCG3000 had been knocked out.

I received my replacement last Friday and noticed on the bottom it is labled "ESD Protected". This was not on my original receiver. From what I can tell this has been a problem with these external GPS receivers. The unit works fine now, but I just want to share this bit of information with the group.
