Incredibly frustrating lockdown mode

I have been in the telecom industry for many years. I bought it because it seems to be the best of the best. However, this is incredibly frustrating. Seems to get stuck in "Lock" mode ("Data Discovery and Lock on Talk") FREQUENTLY. This is to help you not disturb data lines (T1 and DSL), but this is rare these days. We rarely come across this and I wish there was a way to disable this "feature". Unfortunately, it cost me a lot of time while struggling with my own stocks and I regret not buying…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Do not buy this application kit

Later models of this application kit (rebuilt), including the one I bought and received from Revain, have a fatal defect. If you call ON SPEAKERPHONE with a thousand-cycle tone, an ANI number, or even a person, and the phone line you are connected to has a high loop current (possibly more than 50mA), the microprocessor will, if you use the Answer line resets, the display lights up and you see all the characters on the LCD and you get cut off. That won't happen if you don't use a speakerphone…

Pros
  • Still satisfied
Cons
  • Will write later

Fantastic service, best in testing, measuring and verifying

I was looking for a new test kit to replace the one I had lost after about 10 years. I needed a device that I could use as a speakerphone, as well as some new bells and whistles that wouldn't allow me to disconnect someone from the network if I accidentally tripped over a data line. I found and bought this top device. It came in perfect order, everything in the kit was fine. Got straight to work and enjoyed learning what it can do.1. The caller ID on the test dial is awesome, not required but…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some errors
