Hi Colin,
These are firmware issues. You can actually update the firmware on the old
Dec, by going to the GW Micro web page http://www.gwmicro.com and hitting
their downloads section. Or, you can go to http://www.fonix.com, as Fonix
have now bought out Dectalk. I believe they have the latest firmware on
there too.
All the best
