Hi Jim,
I've never had a tone or ltr panel go bad in service
(knocking on wood). I've had some ham repeater controllers
crap, but never a commercial product.
The Comm Spec TP-3200 has a well known problem with
lock-up. Comm Spec will send you a free reset timer and
install instructions if you simply ask for one.
I believe the added circuit reboots the TP-3200 about
every half hour with the small added timer board. (has
3 wire hook up). In the real world, it's probably about
the best fix Comm Spec could have come up with.
Although I've not yet had a tone or ltr panel fail, I
always take spares along... when the repeater site is
a 3.5 hour each way trip. One need only make that
mistake one time...
cheers,
skipp
