Apparently I cant keep flashers functional for very long. Tried Vex and assumed it was a brand thing after countless issues with my FL-8 and FL-12 and FL-18. at that point I bought a last minute backup VX-1 work flawless, but opted for a showdown (first edition) and the crystals exploded. went back to the lowly VX-1 again no issues but sold it to upgrade to a LX-3TC That has had the transducer replaced twice and now the motor is bad.
Question is... Am I the only one?

Bad Karma??? I haven't a clue the reason for your bad luck.

Me neither. I've had a Vexilar FL-18 since they first came out with zero problems. Only thing I did was replace a battery. And I've had an FLX-28 for 2 years now and no problems either. Sorry for the run of bad equipment.

I had no problems with the FL18 that you sold to me so Vex fixed it right the last time. Now the 28 I just bought now that's another story. Gain knob stopped working again... hopefully 4 time will be the charm?
 I feel your pain.

Sorry to hear about your string of flasher problems. Glad my normal bad luck doesn't include my Vex. I have had my 18 since they came out and still use the original battery.Hope you have better luck in the future.

Go back to Vex. They replaced my unit and sent it out as soon as they had confirmation that I sent the old one. cant beat that service! You can use the FL-18 if you would like now?
