Re: NetworX Panel Failures

Starting to see the same crap quality with the old Sentrol stuff... I got a
bad PI6000 last week, the motion was DOA right out of the box... I can't
remember ever getting anything bad when Sentrol's name was on the box... It
looks like GE dropped the price on the old Sentrol line by cutting corners
on quality. When are the suits going to learn, short term gain can equal
long term disaster............
