RHC: Thanks Mark, good to know. However, in my case, I didn't have to
replace the receiver just the panel. I will dial in though and put
numbers in the balance of the wireless keyfob locations.

The trouble 7 indicates a wireless trouble. I brought the old board
back, defaulted it again, and powered it up with just the keypad
attached.....definately trouble 7 still there. Next step ...garbage !!
