This system is in our LATA so I have it dial into a local phone line.
My concern is the dispatchers having to deal with 2 phone calls every
night.  This is the only one that does this.  No reference is made in
the manual to sending 2 signals every day.  Gee, wait for the next nfpa
72, we'll be getting 4 signals per day, one every 6 hours!
