Search this board on "Caddx". An external board is required for the NX-8, the NX-8e has a serial port included. OR do you mean monitored via an alarm monitoring company?
BSR- As with the EZ8 question, I meant through a monitoring company. I'm looking at the 8FP-7-RF since it has built in wireless (in the control panel) for more flexibility. Don't suppose you know of the MAX range you can put a sensor on it? I can use antennas if it will help improve the distance but since it might be a time issue, that's why I'm asking the experts.

Ah, sorry but I don't use any wireless sensors with my security system.

I'm guessing yes as the NX-8e can and this board was modeled after the NX-8. You may want to look at the price difference between the two and go with the NX-8e if your budget allows.Zang said:
Automated Outlet has the "good" NX-8e Fastpack kit for $242 (be sure to get the Serial Cable as well).
He also sells the Wireless Zone Expanders (boards and sensors) as well.

The range on the GE Caddx wireless stuff is "500 feet - Open Air".
Any idea where I can find out for SURE before I buy one? I looked at the 8e but this guy has NO interest in expansion or computer integration at all so I figured why spend the money if he won't use it.BraveSirRobin said:
Is there any way to increase this range?AutomatedOutlet said:

I managed to find the NX-8 manual on that site. PM me your Email addy and I'll send it to you.
