The Voltage and Temp telemetry is a big plus at Solar sites. The latest OT2 boards decode very well. They might even decode misaligned audio better than Kantronics. (Why do so many users TX audio sound like crap?!) Remote control, and scripts are good.
The only problem I have had with an OT2 Digi is two different OT2's locked up in about two years of 24/7 operation. I have friends that have never had one lockup. Also had two TT4's lockup, and a KPC-3 fail too. At a Solar Site the voltage readout, and low current draw would be the biggest selling point.
