Dale - I have never seen a post on this reflector complaining about the "six
pack" - that being said, I can tell you that I have had intermittent relay
closure problems. This has been a rare occurrence from the beginning, even
though my relay box is in an air conditioned shack. It seemed to happen
when I "soft switched" the knob instead of turning the knob with more gusto.
I now use it with the Bandmaster and have never had a problem since. I
never blew an amp because I always listen first before transmitting - if I
don't hear any signal, I don't transmit. I have always have prompt, caring,
and knowledgeable responses from Bob and Jay. Array Solutions is a "first
class" operation. No, neither are my brother-in-law!
Mike, W4UM

Wow. 'notorious', 'always'
So, when can I expect my sixpak to become 'notorious'?
That little blue box has been working just fine since March 1999.
HNY!
