LOL. Yes I have. The guy had actually done very well on my apptitude test.
On the first jobsite I took him on I ran him over the basics for terminating
Cat 5 jacks and demonstrated it once. Then I went to punch down the panel
while he did the jacks. Every single one was wrong, and not in the same way
either. After taking him around and correcting a couple I asked him if he
didn't understand that he had to punch the wires down according to the color
code if he was just plain color blind. His face turned red and he promptly
lied to me.

Yeah, worse if you taught him the old school telco method that all your
mains are to be pull snug and punched down as, "They will never change. Only
your cross connect wires change."

LOL. Fair enough.

Say...do you do DSC panels?
Im needing a PC3000 or PC2550, working used panel. Mine took a crap
and Im trying to find one that doesnt have a lockout code activated.
Id pay a reasonable value for one.

Talk to Jim Rojas in Florida. I quit installing DSC about ten years ago.
About 4-5 years ago I sent all my older used panels to Jim. I'm sure I sent
him some 2500s and 2550s. www.tech-man.com or jrojas(at)tech-man(dot)com.
Tell him I sent you. We are on good terms. You can also try his yahoo or
icq addresses.
Yahoo jimrojas ICQ 20-116-219
Jim operates an unlocking service amoung other things. There is an eprom
pin short method to unlock 2550s and older 1550s (pre V4.0), but sometimes
it kills the dialers.
I'll drop Jim a message right now letting him know you may be contacting
him. -- Just got a reply from Jim. He says he has plenty of 2550s and a
few 3000s.
P.S. I install almost exclusively Napco Gemini panels these days except for
FACP, and one of their big panels is supposed to support mercantile fire and
sprinkler monitoring by next year (2009). I used to install a lot of FBII
before they got bought out by Ademco and quit doing any real development.

I probably should have mentioned that Jim has thousands of used panels
laying around.

Confirm. Jim Rojas is good people. I got some software from
him awhile back. Sure helped fix the problem I had.
I haven't been to alt.security.alarms in a while, wonder if
Jim still posts there. I got tired of all the shit
from Basshole.
