I don't yet, but I was considering leaving mine on 24/7 with some
self-written software to scan a few beacon frequencies looking for band
openings.

I'm therefore also interested to hear how I might be affecting the life
expectancy of the rig. I'd probably be band-changing more often than
most of the other 24/7 K2s too, so any info on the expected lifetime of
the relays would also be much appreciated.

You never find the what you want, until you replace it.
