Actually, I can't disagree with the first part. We run five of those systems and 2 solid state transmitters. It seems like it is always time for another water change.
Of course our news department seems to think the latter. We can never seem to do enough for them.
One of our producers actually thought we should be on a plane to Japan to find the bad ribbon cable for the production switcher. He doesn't think we are working hard enough to find a solution. We tracked down nearly a dozen leads and no one seems to have the parts. So it may come to a trip to Japan at some point.:)
