Maybe I'm reading more into this than I should, but it appears that the Spectrum was on the air from July 1976 until June 2001 -- 25 years -- before they purchased a couple of Micor repeaters.
Like I said earlier, I had a Spectrum UHF, I believe it was the S7-R model, and it had the high stability oscillator options and the helical front end option. It ran for somewhere around 10 years with only very minor attention -- tweaked the frequency one time and had one solder problem. Prior to purchasing it, I checked with a couple of users that had Spectrum's in commercial service and got great reports from them. When I received the unit from the factory, I did have some issues with quality control -- mostly cosmetic -- and the factory took care of those issues. Obviously, I must have been the exception rather than the rule.
