We've never used them, but I see that a co-located Public Safety agency at one of our sites has already blown up one of theirs. It was installed for just under two years behind a Kenwood repeater. The one that blew was on the main repeater, the backup repeater still has the other sister PA installed. (I'm nosy and it's an open frame rack, okay? GRIN...) No known lightning or other "large-scale" events at the site, and I see they replaced it with something else... probably not a good sign... but it's interesting to hear that others have good luck with them. How many years of service have you guys gotten on yours so far? Nate WY0X
