Is my radio fried? JTDX is reading 180 dB
I left town for the week to go to Dayton (KQ4QHT) and foolishly left my coax plugged into my radio (SunSDR 2 Pro). The day I left, there was a violent lightning storm, but as a new ham, I did not think to disconnect my radio. I am back in town, but all of a sudden, JTDX (a fork of WSJT-X) is no longer decoding any signals I can see on the waterfall, and the dB meter reads a whopping 184 dB! Is my radio fried? I have not checked my antenna yet, but I cannot find a solution to this. I am operating the radio through ExpertElectronics ExpertSDR software using TCI. Any help would be very appreciated. 73.
