    Hello Everyone,

    Recent CF-30 MK3 purchaser and FZ-G1, Love the G1 but working on getting one iKey we utilize both units in 2 Ram 1500 Pickups.

    I have seen some chatter about installing a 4G LTE card in the Cf-30 MK3, curious if there has been any success as of lately.

    Thank you and glad to be a part of this forum.

    No. Never have. Not to my knowledge.

    CF-31 MK1 and later (ALL) for 4G LTE.
    CF-19 MK5 and later too for that matter.
    ALL CF-53's
    CF-52MK4 and later
    CF-C1's - ALL
    CF-C2's - ALL

    Thanks!

    What's the latest HDSPA/HSPA+ card that you can throw into a CF-30FASAXAM with Windows 7? I've got a stack on the desk that I'd like to get going as samples of how they can be used with internal cards as opposed to the external USB that they're running now.

    Sorry,not dropped in , in a while.

    I think a Dell 5550 HSPA+ is probably the fastest 3.75G device that'll go in a CF-30F
    That's what I've got in mine, which is running on Win 8, although I'm using the Dell driver package, so that'll work with Win 7 too.
    The biggest problem is forceably extracating the dell drivers from their protected package, as they really don't want to install on anything other than a Dell machine.

    Gosh this board redesign really is nasty!

    In the past I have made arguments on this topic. From what I have heard and seen in the past, I recommend looking into the MC7700 network card.

    I want to tinker with one some day. I believe I will have a better opportunity now that I have successfully installed windows 7 64 bit on my cf-30 mrk-3.
