Not doing too much riding here myself until the road salt is gone, we had a
few 1-2 inch snows and now the roads are all whited out from the salt, if
they keep that up they will need to plow the salt soon...anyway I was asked
again so now I doing the research and site check (soon) to see how much they
need to cover, I'm thinking 3 doors, two wireless PIR's, smokes and maybe a
window or two. thanks for your help & everyone else who replied.  Bob, you
sell the P801 correct?
