It is a high percent failure rate until they are repaired the first time. I keep two spares in stock. www.myrandomviews "Old phone guys never die, they just get locked in some closet with an old phone system and forgotten about" Retired, taking photographs and hoping to fly one of my many kites.

But I have closely examined some previously repaired ones with a magnifying work light and find no noticeable trace of any repair. My Cs have gone out in as few as 3 years and as long as 7 years. And 50 bucks just for shipping them to repair is disgusting. Derrick, are you sure that they last longer after the repair? I think my first repair that was returned to service was about 3-4 years ago. FYI - If anyone buys one on Ebay, they are investing in a time bomb. Triads and the standard XTS systems are built like a rock. What the heck happened with this &^$%$??? - Dave S. - You can never appease your ideologue opponents.

You should then be able to spot the one they replace, if that is what is happening. Then you could tell the rest of us! :p Gainesville Telephone Systems Jacksonville Telephone Systems

Obviously they are changing something or they would not come back repaired (that is why I keep a record of the serial number). www.myrandomviews "Old phone guys never die, they just get locked in some closet with an old phone system and forgotten about" Retired, taking photographs and hoping to fly one of my many kites.

I call Vertical and ask them to check the serial number. On one occasion I emailed a proof of purchase to them and they covered it as well. www.myrandomviews "Old phone guys never die, they just get locked in some closet with an old phone system and forgotten about" Retired, taking photographs and hoping to fly one of my many kites.

I just got a call back today with the return charges. I'm told it is out of warranty, so besides the repair fee I'm also being socked another $37+ for their shipping it back to me. That means about $90 our of my pocket besides the repair fee. All total, it amounts to a few big bills. It's so very disgusting. Now why did it cost me more to ship from me? Maybe I packed my box better? - Dave S. - You can never appease your ideologue opponents.
