I might be adding on, so the need for more zones may arrise, so I
think I will move up, to the 864 so I have more room.  And as you said
it's been out for a while, so hopefully I can get one that was the
last version before they dropped it and went to the 1864.  I have to
get a new panel regardless, even if I were to just get another
(updated) 832 because that damn keypad chiming on all the keypads
drives me nutz when I'm trying to sleep!!

Anyone know what the last version produced was on the 864?  A good
vendor to purchase from?  Thanks again!!
