[lug] Wireless kit?

[Nate Duehr]

Ah!! That's it... thanks Frank.

Yeah, I forgot the 678's do both, the 675's were the oddballs that had to be
the "right" one.  Have used both... but was out of it this morning.

Typically early installations were CAP and later ones and ones that have
been retrofitted are DMT.  I think a number of areas are a mix now due to
normal system expansion and not purchasing any more CAP gear, correct?

Benefit was better distance from the CO if I remember correctly?

If you have a 675, it'll have "CAP" or "DMT" printed somewhere on the
sticker on the bottom...
