You know what really sux is that no one in this day and age should be doing component level work in the field. Where would you even think that was normal today? I feel like I just went back in time to the 1970's and 80's.

Tadiran is just trying to keep you sharp and on your A game.

I use the UCMC.
How is this Gem for you (Did I mention how bad I think tadiran sucks)?

I have had problems with the wireless phone setup I have had, roughly since day 1. Nothing major, but quite annoying.

Every week or 2 I have to rebot the card as the wifi phones get very static(y) and dead spots appear.

Tadirans brilliant idea now is to upgrade the card to newer firmnware. But wait, they tell my tech they can not guarantee the phones I have will work with the new version.

SO, they want him to spend all his time here (that he does not get to recoup from them) to upgrade the card, then take a pretty good shot of killing ALL of my wireless phones.

Quite frankly, I am not sure how these people are still in business.

We installed 2 and stopped. We now will only do the WiCMC. Wireless is a Kirk telecom system. I haven't had any issues on the wireless.

I dunno, I have a tom of Tadirans in the field and they are tanks.

I seem to recall asking about WiCMC vs uCMC. Is this an upgrade to better quality, or profit margin

ps the 500 is a tank, got quite a few in the field that keep on cranking away, I'm installing one in Las Vegas this week, and would sure like a return visit. But don't expect it.

I prefer the WiCMC for stability. The boards are identical. The way the WiCMC works is better IMHO. The way the USB dongle vs that stupid eprom and hard drive key thing on the UCMC is terrible for in field replacements.

Wicmc will be a better quality system in my opinion. It is a version of the Repartee from Active Voice which has been in the voice processing business for a very long time.

So it's the uCMC for the profit margin

We don's offerthe ucmc anymore reataylor. It actually makes our systems price higher but with WAY fewer headaches and lost sleep.
