I have not been following this thread, but have been in the LTR business for close to 20 years - Most of my stations are Johnson VX with Johnson (they tell me this is Trident) logic built into the microprocessor card. The 800 Mhz stations are rock solid. I have had a few switching power supplies go west, and on UHF I have had a few PA and noisy VCO problems. We run 14 VX's on 800, 11 VX's on 450, and a hand full of GE M3 and Kenwood TKR820's and 4, Uniden 460 ESAS repeaters. The front ends on the unidens SUCK. Had to put cavity preselectors in front.
