RHC: My experience with DSC panels that are branded ADT is some of the
programming is slightly different (DSC 5010 anyway) and they sometimes
cannot be downloaded properly either. Don't trust them (ADT or ADT
branded panels). Buy a generic DSC somewhere else.

I have seen DSC panels on internet sales sites in the US that are
selling at retail for less than I can buy them wholesale here in
Canada where they are made.  What gives anyway ???
