    That's what I'm thinking. Now if I can just get power(24vdc) to the box to try them out. I figure If I ever need to dry something out, the 109 will be the place to do it.

Got a pass at the main gate(JBLM) and then promptly was turned around so that I could take part in a very fun commercial inspection.aua Thats the first time...
