Don't be. There are many of us who have built stable businesses based on this product. Nothing is perfect (especially at this price point).  With anything, if you plan ahead a bit for some failure, you can make it work. On the whole, SmartBridges have lowered our install cost and CPE failure issue rate, as well as making for happier installers (we used to do LMR400 + USB and /or Karlnet SEC on RG1000).   >>Brendan ----- Original Message ----- From: David Morrison To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] A smartBridges Press Release - 24 Nov 2003 I was looking into purchasing some of their equipment, but I'm a little scared now...   ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 1:25 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] A smartBridges Press Release - 24 Nov 2003 Well, since for the most part smartbridge units are full of "issues"....maybe screwed up is a little harsh, but relatively accurate. Since anytime someone reports a problem to SB, the immediate answer is, "well it doesn't happen in our lab."  I know SB is better than any other vendor that I know of at listening and addressing issues, eventually.  My problem is all the stupid little querks about their products. They work for a couple months then flake out, then 3 firmware versions later, something that use to work is broken, then power must be the issue and you must buy different power supplies, the list goes on. Don't get me wrong, when a unit works it works just fine, then all of a sudden it doesn't.  That's how I figure.   Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: Bullit To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 1:06 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] A smartBridges Press Release - 24 Nov 2003 How do you figure?   Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 10:57 AM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] A smartBridges Press Release - 24 Nov 2003 Wow...50,000 more screwed up units out there...
