That doesn't freak me. I did that for the Polar, and was able to do that
with the dil parts handily enough. It also allows you to put 2 or
probably more on the same lead.

I am going to answer the questions this time, and I'll post you some
results. I'll fly to Manchester if I have to, and get a demo. I expect
the thing will fail miserably, as I am fairly exacting in what I want,
and the system is not 'upwardly mobile'. What I mean is this: They have
no system aimed at factories, where they can sell for big money into
factories.
If my reccomendation is good, are you ready to put money into this?
Because I am sure we would get a better deal buying two than one each
individually. "What bits of their system had you got your eye on?
We had better take this off list, as it is off topic and a business
arrangement.
