( Battery Life is only about 5 to 7 years, and then they replace the whole unit) I am a TV Broadcast RF engineer, my job is to maintain a 90KW and  80 KW UHF transmitters. I have never had an issue, ever. Ham wise I run legal limit 160M through 10M on a 60'X100' lot. Again no issues.

This would be a good time to check on the quality of all coax and coax connectors, making sure that none are JUNK or are poorly installed. All should be properly soldered and wrench tight. JUNK is defined as any coax connector that doesn't have Amphenol or a MIL-spec number stamped onto it. This also applies to adapters.
