Hmm, i cannot compare it right now against the M1A card here...  I
didn't get that impression when actively using it ages ago.  It always
talked to the target on the first request.  Perhaps it's also a
question of who's been assembling the card, it's one of the most often
cloned cards, i think.

OTOH, you can use AK47 cards even in lousy environments, without
cooling and cleaning, it won't get worse from such circumstances.
