RHC: I have no idea what an Altec transmitter is ! The SP6000 has all
sorts of means of transmission built in to the panel already...

RHC: Yes, disconnect one side of the siren circuit temporarily and
have at it...

RHC: The SP6000 is definately NOT a DIY panel. You have not set your

even me at times with the huge number of software options available...
