Also another point I would like to make, look at the FCC cert for the
Zcom card (Demarc) which is at .234 watts (234mW):
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/oet/forms/misc/Grant_Form.
hts?application_id=803728&mode=COPY&fcc_id=M4Y-0325H

Vs

Seano cards which are at .178 watts (178mW)
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/tcb/Tcb731GrantForm.cfm?applicatio
n_id=311157&mode=COPY&fcc_id=NI3-2511CD-PLUS3

This is a different of 56mW!!! Again just pointing out these two cards
are very different.
