Its probably best to create a new thread with your issue, but IIRC, FE indicates an error.. are there any numbers scrolling/flashing after FE ?

 

Found out it's the FAN.  Needs a new fan.

Fixed the issue.  Fan grill got bent in shipping somehow and was holding the fan from spinning... UPS' awesome service..I guess...  (luckily it didn't break any of the fan blades.)

Good to know. I support one VXR-7000 repeater located in a remote area, where the fan is the only thing keeping the mold and ants from invading the chassis. It has chugged along for about seven years now, and is still going strong. But that fan and environment always worries me. Location is on tribal land and the tribe does not want to spend money on the building, which makes me wonder if they would spend that on the repeater when it fails. Luckily, VXR-7000's are pretty tough devices.
