Were you using Gemini wireless?  Its some of the easiest most trouble free
stuff I have ever used, and the error code on the LCD RP1CAe2 keypads does
indicate the transmitter/zone.  Even the LED for the smaller panels like the
P-800 aren't that big a deal.  Also if programmed for CID most of them can
be set to send the info to the CS, and of course I setup all my new installs
for U/D from the office so if I have to I can download the log before I ever
leave the office.  The only problems I have ever had from Napco wireless is
a broken transmitter (physically damaged by customer or installer) or a low
battery.

The Linear stuff has been nothing but a pain for me.  Also the Ademco
retrofit to FBII really sucked, but the current series of Ademco stuff has
been ok.  I don't use much of the Ademco stuff, but I've done a few
takeover/upgrades on it.  Not as easy to me as Napco Gemini to program, but
not horrible.

As a regular dealer Napco sent me a Freedom 64 to evaluate.  I plan to set
it up as a parrallel system in my new office when I have time and play with
some of the wireless as redundant coverage.  Much like I had my old office
setup with multiple systems for experimentation and training.
