Nice how you talk so about the equipment you sell, at least with Caddx you
can put multiple expanders in the same box

Yes and it will be quite amusing if you have to program one and don't have a
PC, to me not knowing how to do even the basics of keypad programming shows
ignorance in my opinion

Much easier to use, doesn't require full screen, nicer menus etc

I never claimed one did, having the expander in the keypad only adds to the
cost if it's not used and in this day and age of bus expanders it's not a
big deal having one

Thats a matter of perception, they have more fixed english and LCD's than
LED's, Napco needs to step up with this

If thats so they don't list it in any manuals I've seen

Cool, try sending water level, low and high temp, freeze, sprinkler,
mnedical etc, can't with Napco.

Someday Napco will catch up
