    Does any of you knowledgeable folk know if the USA spec 319.5mhz sensors will work with IRL alarm systems as installed by Phonewatch.
    They are a hell of a lot cheaper on ebay, but I have doubts on the frequency allocation.

    The Irish panel is 868, 319 will not work.

    With the concord panel you can add a 319 receiver to add the 319 sensors ;)

    Any of the suppliers here have the wire free sensors you need in stock.
    I have seen a panel or two blown messing around trying to add wired devices to this system.

    Yep you can easily add 2 wired zones to the system . You'll need a 47k resistor to supervise the sensors .
