But if I donate my Flex to my daughter when I die, and she has children and they became hams will they still be able to use the relay? Burt --- On Thu, 6/18/09, Gerald Youngblood ger...@flex-radio.com wrote: From: Gerald Youngblood ger...@flex-radio.com Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Life

If you are like me, you are going to spend all of your kids and grandkids inheritance given the RIDICULOUS state of the health care for the elderly in the US so you might want it to be the centerpiece of your estate (where it belongs). ;-). Bob N4HY On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 12:20 PM, Burt

The answer is 100,000,000 operations min. (at 36,000 operations/hour). That is probably longer than the average ham's life expectancy. ;) To my knowledge, we have had no field failures of the TR relay. Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President FlexRadio Systems 13091 Pond Springs Rd. #250
