One of Motorhead's better foot in mouth offers. "Lifetime
Warranty on Permakays". In the late 80's we still had guys
walk in off the streets trying to get the filters replaced
free.

Doesn't make much sense, but I have seen it done and I've
been involved with a wideband remote or two used at the
local flame thrower stations for traffic reports.

Regardless of what anyone says or does, there are always
repeater pairs available in most any location. Two guys
with 10 minutes total daily use don't justify holding down
a repeater pair when 35 plus people want to use it the other
23 hours. You just have to find the silly empire repeater
operators and figure a way to work something in. Most often
things end up in a big war... but well planned co-channel
operation can and should happen in crowed conditions. Not
to mention the non standard repeater pairs.
