You are on the right track. 20 watts is not
really enough power. Most of the 220 acsb
systems I saw were poorly applied and built
from plans made by people who appear to have
never been "in the field".
When you get into a new technology, there is
always strange issues to be dealt with. I had
some Intek/Securicor technical files, which
indicated to me they were not properly dealing
with those issues. You can only hide so long
behind a patch job.
Something about customer support also comes
into play.
cheers,

ps: There is still a system or two in operation
up here in Nor-Cal. How many people are on it
is another question...
