Both "Bobs" (Campbell and LaLonde) are active in the group.  The best way to
get tech support from "the other Bob" is to post your questions in the
Newsgroup.  Ignore "Group Moderator" who contributes nothing but invective
and has a "thing" for "the other Bob"...

When I started in the trade, the DSC-PC2500 was just being introduced.  Wow!
It was keypad programmable!  The old 2000 required a chip burner.  Both
products were pretty easy to understand.  You *must* read the manual!!  Set
up the system on a workbench and "play" with it for a few days.
