 Yes, GEM 9600 mostly.

I suspect you've never given Inovonics a fair shot. It blows everything else
away in my opinion. Even the big retailer in Arkansas uses it.

That wasn't my point. The point is you don't get that wireless zone
information at the central station. You get a generic expansion module
failure signal. If you want to find out then you have to upload the event
buffer, ask the customer (bad idea) or send a tech. Additionally you don't
get a reliable number during wireless placement test. If Inovonics test kit
says you're okay, you really okay. If Napco says 4 or better, it still might
not be a good enough placement to avoid problems.
