                WASHINGTON POWER UTILITY DISTRICT GOES WIRELESS

Allen-Bradley Fair 97, Nashville, TN --- November 12, 1997 --- Electronic
Systems Technology Inc. (EST) (OTC: ELST), a manufacturer of wireless
communications hardware, announced today that its latest technology product,
the ESTeem(TM) Model 192C wireless modem, was selected by Programmable Control
Services (PCS), an Allen-Bradley(R) authorized systems integrator, to provide
the wireless network for the Klickitat County Public Utility District (PUD)
located in south central Washington.

Klickitat County PUD, a municipal subdivision of the State of Washington,
providing electricity, water, and sewer to more than eleven thousand
residents, awarded a contract to PCS to install a state-of-the-art 
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor loads
and resources on a real-time basis to allow more cost effective purchasing
decisions for electric power.  A secondary benefit of the systems is to
remotely monitor and operate fourteen substations and point of delivery
centers from a central location.  The SCADA system upgrade is to make
Klickitat County PUD more cost competitive after the deregulation of the
power utility market starting January 1, 1998.

The ESTeem Model 192C will provide a wireless network covering 1,880 
square miles for the SCADA system, will be the first of its kind in
Washington state.

Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held corporation since 1984, was
the first company to develop the wireless modem and receive the United
States and Canadian patents for this technology.

Electronic Systems Technology is an authorized Allen-Bradley Encompass
Program hardware provider for wireless communications networks.
