I use a pair of Low Band Rangers for repeater service and they just keep going. I have a macro controlled timed fan on the transmit unit, turn down the power to about 75 watts and generally beat the snot out every one of them since the mid 1980's and they are still 100% operational . The Low Band GE Ranger is one heck of a great radio. In most sane applications you'd be hard pressed to kill one. Moving a LB unit up onto 6 meters is a $%^^&(*.... pain but it can be done. cheers, s.
