Re: how does Rojas do it ?

["Jim Rojas" <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Exactly my point. I have 9 different programmers I use. They vary in price
from $259 - $4500 each. I can also create custom firmware on some panels.

This is just one example:

I had a Canadian dealer that needed to be able to download several hundred
DSC 2550 & 3000's. They were all older versions that DLS2002 did not
support. DSC no longer has the chips available. I was able to make updated
chips for the dealer, thus allowing him to download all the panels with
DLS2002.

Them burners ain't cheep, I have one I paid 600 bucks for at least 10 years
ago. And...they don't exactly come with user friendly instructions! It took
me a long time to figure out how to use the damn thing let alone how to get
into and modify the old Radx chips. Not really worth the time spent unless
you're really into it for some reason. Definitely cheaper swapping out the
board :-)
