Why should this be a surprise? It's DSC after all. I am still waiting =
for a replacement 1832 from that first batch of bad units. They always =
BETA test everything at the dealer level, they just don't tell you. Ask =
to speak to the product manager for GSM communicator if you need the =
ULC/UL questions answered.=20

  Speaking with DSC and Tri-ed today I learned that the units shipped =
out have a problem.

  If the unit looses communication or is unable to communicate, it =
requires the installer to go out to the site to cycle power to the unit.

  Tri-ed informed me they have stopped shipping waiting for new units =
with new software to fix the power cycle problem.  They hope to have =
them next week.

  Does anyone know about ULC/UL?  If the first unit out had ULC/UL =
approval, with a software change as it was explained to me is all that =
is needed,  will this new version have to go back to ULC/UL for =
approval?

  And if you put a battery across the phone line and cut the phone line =
it does not send unless you tie back into an input on the radio Tri-ed =
explained to me.

  What happens with the unit if doing it's own power cycling, if an =
alarm event takes place, is the event lost?   I asked this of DSC tech =
support, still waiting for a call back from Harry Schultz.

  If you have used any, you may want to contact your local distributor =
or DSC.  I have looked on the DSC web site for any kind of Tech Bulletin =
or notice, as of now they have posted nothing.
