All the DMP panels I have serviced have LCD Alpha Keypads.

No, I have not.  For a whole host of reasons (not the least of which is
having something I didn't order charged to my credit card) I don't sell or
install new DMP panels.  I had a good chuckle when I received my letter this
year informing me I was only a servicing dealer due to my low sales volume.

While I have not had training I did have a guy come out and try to hard sell
me on going exclusively with DMP controls.

The only problem I have had with DMP panels is this lockup and trashed
processor thing.  I replaced two of them with new Napco (bigger) panels out
of my own pocket because I thought I might have done something wrong.
