I have always thought of Napco wireless as one of the worst. In my
experience it had the largest transmitter and battery versus range to
receiver. On many installations I had to go back and install a second
receiver to stop random fail to report trouble signals, even when the
placement test said it was at least 4 or better. The wireless trouble signal
never identified the guilty transmitter, it only gave some generic module
failure signal and one had to upload the event buffer to find the actual
wireless transmitter unit with the trouble. A real pain in the ass as far as
I am concerned.
