Triplett made a "Control Line Test Set" for Motorola, with the Moto model number R1034A . Some were labeled R-1034A (i.e. with a hyphen). They show up on ebay every so often for $10-50. If you are responsible for an AC wireline it's unbeatable at that price. I picked up one at a hamfest for $20 a

Mark, You want to look for TIMS test set, with it you will be able to send and receive different tones at different levels and measure the levels as well. Dan KA8YPY On Apr 27, 2007, at 8:11 PM, N9WYS wrote: > Sorry - I believe it also needs to be able to measure the frequency of > the > au

The Fluke 187/189 series of digital multimeters will measure AC/DC volts, amps, dB, frequency, etc. A very nice accurate unit for around $300. It's not a comm test set, but it will definitely do all the measurements you'd need it to do for tone remote systems. Bob M. == --- N9WYS <[EMAIL PROTE

Most of the radio circuits that i remotely test and we (Verizon) engineer are 0, -16 circuits, meaning that the from the telecom interface we are looking for a 0db signal on the transmit side, and when it gets to the other end at the interface card at the station the signal will be -16 db. Dan

I believe 16 db would be terribly excessive loss for a line - maybe 6 db tops. I usually set -10 dbm @ 1000 hz for +/- 3 khz deviation. ). 0 dBm for max deviation. and let the tone levels fall into place as you have indicated. If the line measures 6 db of loss @ 1000 hz, you may want to move th
