Thanks what about my questions?

So are you saying that contractually RTI dealers/CI's are not allowed to give end-users the software?

If true this essentially means that; so long as a dealer/CI honours their contractual obligations, if one buys RTI gear, expect extra costs assoc. w/programming?

Unless one can find a dealer who'll do the programming for free, which -understandably- ain't gunna happen. Even if it does this'd have to be made up for elsewhere, i.e. extra $ on the sale of hardware, or higher billing for future programming.

Take the T2C out and it looks pretty good. I would recomend the MX980 if you can | find a dealer in your area who will give you the software, if not, drop me a line.

So any Pronto or Nevo specialists care to chime-in & explain why you think your model is better in some ways than the MX-980?

I haven't found out about software/support arrangements (vs URC) for these two OEMS yet.

Much appreciated.

The Pronto's and Nevos have some 2-way capabilities, and the MX-980 does not.

Don't need feedback? Then stick with the MX-980.

Rort - 3 definitions - To cheat, rip-off, beat, defraud, hack or scam something.

Oh, I get it now...

Is the Wizard still running things down there? Do you ever trip over Munchkins? Did they ever get that flying monkey problem under control?

Please don't say anything else disrespectful SH...
If you've only got antagonistic stuff to say, save for when you're speaking face2face with someone.

lol... you haven't read enough of my posts apparently.

If you want disrespectful. How about your beating to death this board and others to just come back to what was suggested to you in the first place... the MX 980.

...and I only seem antagonistic to those with a low self esteem. I never start fights, but rest assured I can finish them both online and face two face.

I'm just hoping you'll eventually take some of the great advice you've been given numerous times, so the resources of this board can focus on something else.
