Re: Ping Tourman...Paradox IP100

["Pogo" <No_spam_marc@nospam>]

They approve only the T-Link from DSC. I have always wondered due to there
corporate structure if they are not closely associated with DSC. They
(Sec24) just happens to sell DSC kits at very competitive price to there
dealers but certainly do not offer any other product lines.
I can certainly appreaciate the need for the study of new technology though
the Paradox IP100 unit has been in the market for ~ 5years now, i would
think it has proven itself. I have found several other stations in the area
that have the appropriate receiver...I think I will get a loaner unit and
perform tests under real/live conditions.
I just find it perplexing that they would not move forward with this
technology, if they have problems with the manufacturer they could voice
there concerns..they have enough clout to get things actioned, I would even
think Paradox would give them the receivers to get more exposure.

RHC: Could be Mark, after all, this IS a big company with all the
inherent corporate stupidity that goes along with every big company,
no matter how good they may be otherwise.
I'll try to find out the make and model of IP module they do allow on
their station.
