Do I need a starter kit if I buy the msc-400 base station. If so,
does anyone know where to get this part from? Thanks for any help

If you're using RS-232, video or voltage sensing or if you want sleeved emitters for ports 6-12, then you need accessories for the MSC-400, as it doesn't come with any of those. They can be purchased separately from your dealer or you can get a starter kit. The problem with buying the starter lit is that you may be getting some things that you don't need and not enough of some you do.

Thanks Mike. My installer is getting the starter kit for me since he will be doing the programming etc on the msc-400.
