These sound like great improvements.
Makes me wonder:

Is it possible to have older NTOs and PCOs
(mid 1990s Oakland system) updated ? I
am the first owner of this panel, for what
it's worth.

Have there been improvements to other modules,
and can these be added to older panels ?

Are the improved NTO and PCO found in the Animal
Panel, or only in the Triple Osc ?

Thanks in Advance to anyone who can answer.
