That's probably correct though I would expect the Sentrol and ITI lines to
remain.  They still seem to hold significant market share.  The Caddx stuff I'd
expect to disappear, especially since much of the RF portion of the line is
duplicated by ITI.

Agreed.  They've bought into some good fiber optic products.  I don't know if
that's going with the security stuff.  If so, the profit isn't anything like
what Leuck would have you believe.
