Only problem I’ve run into is a different can size and different software from 5820 to 6820. Not a drop in replacement…but definitely an upgrade.

That really sucks as far as different can size is concerned. I recently replaced a Notifier Firewarden 50 with a new 50X panel, and much to my surprise it fit perfectly in the old can without any problems. The door obviously has to be swapped to make it work, but it can be directly swapped from an older panel.
I have downloaded and looked at the new SK software and it almost seems more cumbersome than the previous version. It is too bad because programming on a laptop makes it marginally more easier than front panel programming, really only saving time on device descriptions in my opinion. I am interested in seeing how the networking capabilities work. I will be going to the class, just don’t know when I’ll have the time.
