As I reczall fom my days in nbroadcast engineering back in the late 60's, we used those gadgets to connect remote audio gear to dialup phone lines and we could tailor the audio from the remote so it sounded better than a plain old telephone. Also, I think they were used in some radio applications for phone patching back in the day.

OK, that sounds more like it - now, that being said, is this device worth anything? Maybe to anyone on the list? It's gathering dust in my garage... Contact me off list if interested. (n9wys <at> ameritech <dot> net) Mark - N9WYS From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Mike Morris SORRY - I read "line" and thought "power line". DOH !!! OK, it's probably something that helped compensate / adjust the frequency response of the leased phone line that coupled the station to it's dispatch point. Mike WA6ILQ At 07:21 PM 08/17/07, you wrote: I'm thinking not, Mike. This thing looks like some sort of AUDIO conditioner - with thumbwheel dials for frequency ranges, starting at 600Hz through 3200 Hz, with 200 Hz steps. It is fed with a two-wire line, similar to phone circuit wiring. I can send photos if you need to see more about this thing. And it's certainly NOT heavy! ;-) Mark - N9WYS
