Hi Paul,
Surely you can find a decent magnet somewhere to wave them past.
Congratulations on getting rid of the DDS-1. In our experience
those were nothing but trouble. DDS-2 was better but not great.
Apparently it took them until DDS-3 to really get it right. Too
late for me. By that point I'd already given up and gone to DLT.
