[BC] Boring vs exciting transmitters

Sun Apr 8 15:54:29 CDT 2007

None of the Omnitronix transmitters I have ever worked on 
even came close to being boring or interesting.

All of them were frustrating, Frustrating, 
FRUSTRATING.  Arcs between HV traces, bad filter caps, bad 
FET's, bad support.  Standing on your head to retap power 
transformers for the 3rd time this year.  Just 
frustrating.  Except for some power savings, NO better than 
the worn out old transmitters they replaced.

Good gravy...

Give me a *boring*, *reliable* transmitter *any* day, over 
an "exciting" (or
even "interesting") one! ;)

I would *much* rather have a box that just sits there and 
hums along year in
and year out, than one that gave me some "exciting" event 
every so often!
...wouldn't you?? ;)

In this case, *Boring* is *good*!
