Hello Tom, Got any pictures? Good to hear they improved the mounting design. The old design was too small for many of the pipes we use. If the new design will accommodate 3 1/2" - 4" pipes then that is a nice improvement. Wow, they changed the CAT5 weather seal and now a terminated CAT5 cable

Hello Sam, Curious if both DS3 cards have the lockup problem? You do still have two of them, right? If so, it is unlikely you have two bad DS3 cards. Especially because if they are the ones you bought from me I know they are good! We never had any trouble with them interfacing our AT&T DS3s.
