The sups are out delivering and shuttling with the Diad IV here, I'm guessing your center(s) also. Plenty of Diad 3s to go around for everyone else, though. I like III, IV is obviously a better size in most instances. They also have authority to take the brand spanking new 500s and we get 700s and old 1000s.
DIAD 3 for some reason wont scan amazon.com or LLbean not sure what is up with that but it slow my helper done to no end... but I have to get at least 30 stops into his DIAD 3 come hell or high water... even if it slows us down.... dont ask why... just keep my head down and pray I get a penison when I retire....
I actually like the III better. No alpha numeric toggle, and no messages!! It is a little slow though.

I've got both DIADS, use the DIADIV for anything I deliver and the DIADIII for anything the helper delivers. The helpers name and ID go in the DIADIII if there's ever a claim his name goes on it not mine. And best of all mine are marked by GPS(telematics center) at the point I push stop complete, which could save your tail if someone goes X-mas shopping on your DRs this year.
DIAD III can receive ODS messages.
I had a DIAD 3 for three days, one of which we were not able to download EDD and had to go "old school".
Find BC works on DIAD III.
Wrong! There used to be a cellular receiver in the trucks that when you put the Diad III in the carrier it would make contact with and would get messages that way. We no longer have those so no capabilities to send or receive messages. Diad III does not have built in cellular capabilities.

I dont understand(again)without EDD how does the diad 3 find a barcode?
We don't have EDD and even though we have diad 4's Find BC is not an option.
Please enlighten me upstate.
Find BC only works when you have EDD. The way it works is if you are at a stop and the barcode won't scan you hit the Find BC button, type in any four of the tracking number digits in order (usually the last four), match it to the result on the screen, and continue with the stop. It is much faster than typing in 18 characters. My helper even nows how to use it. It comes in very handy with the III because they do not scan as well as the IV.
