Well, not me, but my OpenPlotter project. Our power pole got hit. It came through the cable, through my cable modem and router, and into my OpenPlotter, and out my UHF antenna. I count myself fortunate because the only thing that burnt out was my Glomex VHV / AIS Antenna splitter. I opened it up and it looks like only one component is burnt and I believe it is a capacitor (L2). Now that I can see it better, in my photo, D4 and D5 look suspect. Identifying these is out of my expertise, but I believe I can fix this if someone will help me identify them and tell me where I can get a new ones. Also, I could be wrong. Let me know if you see anything else.
If I can, I'll desolder the board to inspect the components on the underside of the board. I already ordered a replacement since the price has come way down. The new one was only $28, but I'd like the experience of fixing this one and it would be nice to have a backup too.
