Roger,

See my responses below.

member. Did you return the confirmation email after you signed up?

The Digium TDM400 boards don't like to have talk battery enabled and
disabled repeatedly. We use talk battery eanble/disable to key and unkey
the transmitter. Sometimes the enable/disable transients cause the board
to reset, then the driver gets confused. Later revisions of the Digium
boards may work better than earlier revisions.

I visited the Zapmicro site. They say it is TDM400 compatible. We've
never tried one of the Zapmicro cards though.

The Quad Radio PCI card is the preferred way to go as the interface is
direct from the Card to the radio.
