[1000mp] RE:Original MP dies on SSB

[Ron]

Ok call it normal but that still doesn't make it  "vintage".   Most 
modern auto's will go 7 years without a failure if the maintence is done 
and the driver doesn't try to make a race car or off road car of it.  A 
modern transceiver should do the same if maintained and not run with the 
power cranked up over the spec. or run without air around it or run by a 
drunk that pours beer into it.
