There is no doubt about it - the GEWA (prog) is better in our tests.
With the right placement and correct learning of codes (its easy to
learn a dirty code) a UIRT can be just as successful however. What
does appear to be a bit of a stumbling block is (perhaps) the
frequency. Some of the possum products seem incredibly hard to learn
from non-gewa/possum products & I'm not sure why.
