In my experience with numbers of less expensive cel tower pulls, they blink out and re-ignite and then relock this is infrequent. But occurs more and more often. If RB is suspected of going to the darkside, I use the blink-ometer to catch this.
What the heck is a blink-ometer? Simply one of those little pedometer counters that I have tapped into and through a opto coupler allow the blink to trigger a count. Happy to sell you one for $199 plus shipping and if you act now will include another for postage and handling.... The other clue is the lamp voltage. This is a relative clue if your unit even gives you access to it. The FRS start at 9 or so volts and seem to start to blink about 3. Its relative and your milage will vary.
