Jim:

Thanks. I'm putting in a Lynx L5200. Bout we still use the CCI-5 for one se=
curity function and I may keep using it, even with the the odd 'alarm memor=
y' LED lit. Buot for that, the NAPCO panel has been quite flawless. Eventua=
lly, I will probably migrate all the sensors over to the L5200.
