I beta tested the short-lived MPI-26. The panel was and probably still is installed in a wealthy home on Rattlesnake Mountain. They were in the process of remodeling the place. I'm fairly certain these people were multi-millionaires. I offered the panel at no charge if they'd accept a beta. The guy said, sure. It worked, never needed service other than fresh batteries every few years.

I don't recall if they ever brought the model to market or if it just came and went.

The first time I met Wade was at the old convention center, long before they moved ISC to that steel and glass bird cage. He was waiving a JDS-108 around like a kid with a new toy. Sad he's not still at ELK. Things would be different.

Wade was the kind of a guy you could depend on and look up to.. (not like this crowd of greedy clowns we have these days)

btw, I still got a couple of those JDS-108, even a couple of those little zone expander boards they use to make..

It was great stuff but most of it is gone, along with Wades great attitude. Ah, well. I guess this is what they call progress.
