RE: Curtis 1231 or Raptor 600

["Robert Salem" <RSalem@ee.net>]

I have a T Rex 1200 that I run at 240 volts. It was a early one and has been
reworked. I can not say enough good
things about the service I have received. It is nice to find a real person
to deal with. DCP (Dammon) has been great to work with through all my
changes and my problems. I would go with DCP if I was buying a second
controller.
