Except on PM3's with 3.5.1b20. I was using a 3.1/Trumpet setup for weeks
and would always get Lost-Carrier on a PM2 (ComOS3.5), but it was always
User-Request on 3.5.1b17 and up.

I also have been monitoring Lost-Carriers (and any other disconnect code
besides User-Request). It was the worst under 3.5.1b17. With later
revisions, our User-Request disconnects have gone back up, but our phone
calls/complaints have also increased greatly. I know for a fact that I
was disconnected multiple times yesterday (yup, I've got a Sportster and
I've set my init string to AT&F1&K0S15=128 (just to make sure I cover the
bases)) but it was reported as "User-Request" every time. NOT! :)
