I'm sure that's true, Peter, but what percentage of those failures were
infant mortality or induced by external causes? Or in much more complex
devices with, say, a thousand (million?) junctions instead of just one?
I have had LEDs in my station for maybe 15 years now, and have yet to see
one burn out. Besides, it is such a battle getting crappy little parts out
of Yaesu, and I lost 2 of these bulbs in less than a year.
I bet my rotator LEDs outlast me.
CU at Dayton this year?
