I think his problem is more on the radio link level than on the codec
level.
Using G.711 would be 80kbps worth of data and very timing sensitive
usually.
Most modern IP phones use G.729. Now if the other side recodes the
voice in something like G.728 then you have a serious quality issue
due to double compression.

Hopefully your folks use the G.711 codec. If so you can do a
capture and save forward and reverse streams as a .au file. This
will play with Windows Media and you will hear what they are
hearing. Else the following still applies:
WS will make delay and jitter graphics
Filter the capture for RTP and save the filtered version.
Export to CSV and read with Excel
Determine the standard deviation of the delta time between packets
column
Make a frequency table of the delta t
4 x stdev = 99.97% of a normal distribution. If 4x stdev is less
than 20ms then you are loosing very few packets and have micro-
jitter. Else, the reverse.
If you meet the standard deviation test then the network is doing a
good job and the ip-phones are not. Often phone firmware or lousy
wires are responsible. More than 50% of ip-phone problems are speed/
duplex mismatches at the network jack.

Help. I do not know much about anything.... I am trying to see if
a wireless connection between 2 buildings is adequate. I have
played wire Wireshark and see that if I use my IP address as the
interface, and a computer's IP address somewhere else locally, I
can see packets sent and received, with no dropped packets. I plan
to go to a friends site to do this exercise between 2 buildings.
This in itself is not a big deal, but I want to get an idea of the
available bandwidth between the buildings. Their problem is that
their IP phones have very poor quality. The people who installed
their antennas say it is the IP phone system. The antenna people
report 8 megabit thru-put. The IP phone vendors say it is the
wireless connection. I want to get to the bottom of this. Any
suggestions? How can I measure bandwidth? If there are no dropped
packets between the buildings should I assume the problem lies with
the IP phones??
Thanks in advance.
