Hmmm... using that logic, you can have the most reliable repeater by not
putting it on the air at all. That way, it will last forever. :-)
(provided it's not using tubes)
Actually, I would tend to think that like us, periodic exercise isn't a
bad thing for a repeater. It will help keep the caps trim and the
transistors fit.
Although I admittedly don't have any proof for that theory.
