yes but i get no errors messages like card invalid-------if i had wrong bk surely it would say ' never paired in' eng menu!!!m and it dosent it says its all good---and i know its right bk as i have had it working ---then it just went like this.....

since it started playing up the only way i can prevent the card invalid error message----and the never paierd thing is to right the ird backwards in toxic this seems to make the card say Goog / ok in the eng menu.....

ive got a feeling its down to a connection immgonna check my splitters anf f conns----------

well im gonna try and wire it up straight to feed outside on its own....

thing is my pace 4010 works perfect and so does the modem.....---i swap the 4010 for the 2100 and it does this now ------------------but like i said i have had it going with funcard i got everything as i sat and watchin last night---then while i was watchinh it went off! saying card invalid----i checked in eng menu and in page 13 bootloader page?? it sayd it downloaded 2134 kb or summit about tim it went off!!!

but still 3.6v
