Re: vista 15pmt

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had used the Safewatch keypads on a Vista without problems also, then had
an install that wanted a cheap used system so I used a Safewatch board with
gently used Ademco keypads...but couldnt Compass it...I'll try a chip swap
next time I have a spare chip.

Does the chip contain the program as well?...some systems I use don't so I
don't have to reprogram if I want to update the chip rev.
