AP-1000's & RG-1100's are very tempermental. We've had about 22 out of 400
RG-1100 failures or 18% failure rate. Also, 4 AP-1000's out of 18 or 22%
failure rate. I've been keeping track of serial numbers of failed units to see
if a pattern will emerge at: https://carroll.pathcom.ca/serials/ Please feel
free to add your units to the list. *Note: please do not add units that have
been damaged as a result of a direct lightning strike. see:

My advice, use the new KN-100 & KN-200 boards made by Karlnet.
