Re: Compass Software

["mikey" <someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nabob, vista15pcn, don't use a lot of them but last 3 I bought this summer
do the same thing. I just do the workaround thing but maddening nonetheless.
I can pick a time with DSC and download just that. Compass is so tedious,
I'm just not getting the hang of it, I keep forgeting to close communication
before trying to exit, I never remember which way to connect that works
reliably, things like that, drives me nuts but I like the panels and the
wireless.
