Yeah, I remember both the Whistler and RDF, old technology for sure, but
lightning is even older and more primitive technology. It appears that
you're unfamiliar with the characteristics of a really good lightning strike
and it's ability to pick off all electronics on a boat, not just those
plugged in and operating. The only protection from a really wicked EMP
would be to have your gear in a Faraday chamber aboard.
