[928uk] Hamilton and Palmer alarm

[Rob Knox]

Firstly, what Adrian said! Jim at H&P is a fount of knowledge and helped me out about a year ago diagnosing a bit of odd behaviour from my alarm. 

Which leads me to the next point: these systems are really finicky about good electrical contact with the fob: clean the contacts on the fob with a pencil eraser or some contact cleaner, and have a careful look in the socket for fluff (which seemed to be causing some of my original problem), and it might resurrect things. 

Good luck!
