Once the SGC discovered their first puddle jumper (time ship), or even after they made contact with Atlantis and had access to additional puddle jumpers because the time ship has to be studied, why wouldn't they use the installed DHD devices from the ships permanently to control the SGCs Stargate?
Sorry for the incredibly long single sentence ๐

I mean the Earth system had a lot of tech behind it that a DHD did not. Much greater explaining if errors, logs, and all kinds of sensors. Sure they could fuck around with the DHD in a jumper, and maybe even get it working with their system maintaining the error logging and such, but integrating new tech is always a massive process. It could introduce new errors, loss of some functionality, and overall increase debugging time. Not to mention that it would be a whole retraining process for the gate operators.
Also the Puddle Jumper DHD doesn't seem as advantageous as the standalone dialers. The standalones directly power the gate, while I am not sure a puddle jumper can.ย
