Not exactly, but the tech guy specificaly mentioned CID " Not every receiver
that is "Contact ID" compatible is going to work with every panel. " in one
of his e-mails.  I figured there is a reason for that.  He also suggested
using 4X2 " I would try other formats to see what works and is received fine
by the central station, something like 4+2 format." standard in another as
an option when I asked if siwtching to a pulse format would solve the
problem.  Of course I had never told him what format I was using in the
first place so, I assumed there was a reason he mentioned CID specifically.
