That's complete nonsense and you need to stop making false statements!
I apologize if I inferred that the Microham units were defective or
failed due to workmanship or design. The expedition lost the use of three

out of the four CW interfaces they brought, as you say, most likely
due to lightening or environmental conditions. I was not trying to
knock Microham or Winkey or any other interface. The point I was
trying to make was that when it comes to reliability, more
electronics you have, the more points of failure you will have,
however that failure occurs.
