There are three levels of 5881 RF Receivers.

The 'L' which has 8 zone capacity

The 'M' which has 16 zone capacity

The 'H' whose capacity is determined by the limit of the panel used.

RF Keypads incorporate the 'M' receiver (16 zones) along with a built in
transmitter which means you could use a BDV type remote without
installing a separate 5800TM which you would need if you used one of the
stand alone receivers.

One important note, if you want to use a wireless keypad (which I would
discourage as their performance has been disappointing in my experience)
neither of these items/combinations work and you will need a 5883
receiver/transmitter.
