Christopher, please compare and contrast both devices, and tell us why, in your opinion, they did not win the GM, Ford, or NASCAR bid.

PRICE?

PERFORMANCE?

TRAINING TIME?

FLEXIBILITY OF TUNING IN SELECTIVE FREQUENCIES?

And the biggest question of all............

**** ARE THERE ANY, I repeat ANY, competitor products that FILTER OUT BACKGROUND NOISE to assure accurate readings?

Supposedly that is why NASCAR chose MRPS and GM and FORD as well. The other ultrasound devices weren't doing the job nearly as well. In a quiet one car garage, a lot of devices would work, but in a noisy factory or outside environment, none work well but MRPS's.

The ability to ignore virtually ALL ambient noise, and tune into the SPECIFIC frequency range or a wheel bearing problem, or a valve problem or a compression leak problem, is the biggest reason why MRPS, I'm told, is winning all these bids.

There are actually a few competitors to our darling microphonics. There is UE (Ultrasonic Equipment) and SDT as Christopher has posted. I am a Mechanical Engineer familiar with this technology and have used it quite a bit. Used to be in the ball bearing industry. I asked Jimmy Gayle before my first investment into MRPS what can his do that the others can not. He said the trick is in the way MRPS picks up the sound wave and bounces it against a known in the front end of the unit. MRPS's centerline is at 40,000 MHz vs competition being from 1,000 to 20,000 MHz. Jimmy says theirs can separate frequencies cleaner than competition. This is important if you need to pinpoint problem source among many components. I think he must have sold Ford and GM on being better than the competition due to recent contracts. I am willing to bet MRPS will succeed. They have a good product in a justifiable market. When they get listed and mutual funds are buying more we will enjoy some capital gains here. I sold on bump at 2.375 and got back in at 1.75 for the long ride.
