Heh... I got to troubleshoot an Optaphone last summer. Absolutely nothing
wrong with the equipment, just a n connector that wasn't sealed properly by
the operators doing their own maintenance or something and took on some
water. I recall that it had been installed circa 2002 in this particular
application but some documentation on it indicated the hardware was older
than that. Having zero prior experience I was trying to find any info I
could, don't think I figured out exactly how to read rx levels.
