Exactly!  If the dealer who bushed this up
reads this newsgroup he's probably trying
to find a way to blame his mistake on some
"fat fingered DIYer" rather than admit he
screwed up and fix the problem.  This is
yet another for the homeowner reason to
consider DIY.  At least if he makes a mistake
he'll know who did it.

BTW, in the past week I sold nine Vista-128FB
systems, one VISTAKEY access control
system with a Vista-250, several commercial
security alarms and nearly a dozen residential
alarms.  Every one was to a first time DIYer.
Home automation sales are slower than this
time last year but we're still doing a fair
number of ELK-M1G Gold systems.
