Repeater and CFC brands



Hi all. This thread might seem a repetition, but I have read all the backing mails regarding this and, as I received not long ago the Repeater I decided to ask again. Has anyone here tried any other brand of CFCs on their repeater? Here I find it difficult to find Simpletechs and Kingmaxes, so I am forced to find other cfcs for my repeater. I and a friend of mine have tried almost ten different brands of Compact flash memory cards on our repeaters, and have found only a working one. We have tried, in the order, Sandisk (weren't they one of the brands tested by electrix?), Hama, TDK, Kodak, Memorex, Verbatim, Integra and all of them were too slow for the repeater to even work in stereo. The only brand that we could find that is working well is INTENSO, which (as all sub-brands) could be inconsistent, as far as memory quality. We found the 64 Mb to work really great, while the 256 Mb shows a little problem... The first loop recorded after a format says the cfc is slow, but after an erase operation it works well and becomes really reliable. Has any of you found some other working brands?
The funny thing is that I have been looking on the web, and (apart from Simpletech, Kingmax and Hamlet) no cfc producer seems to give informations regarding the speed of the cfcs.
 
Thanks
Peace
