I think they are way easier to program than an XL-2(X) series panel.  My
first one took me maybe 20 minutes.  Now I fill the work sheet out and
program one in about a minute and a half.

Basically each transmitter has a hex address.  Its printed on the
transmitter.  That's the only semi difficult part of programming one from
the keypad and as always I'ld be glad to call the panel when you get the
phone connected and check it for you.

Yep, I still ride, but not as much as I used to.  My latest machine is a
Kawasaki 1600 Mean Streak.  I may buy another new Harley sometime, but not
this year.  Actually I fish bass tournaments more than ride these days, so
it didn't make sense to buy another poser machine.  Just something to putt
around on.
