AM Radio Station 3

[fshaw]

Does anyone have experience with installing a Partner ACS in an AM radio station? The station has older equipment and large antenna outside. I can hear the radio on my toner as I walk around the station.

I am particularly interested in two items:
1) How do you deal with the RF? I am worried that every phone will become its own antenna.
2) How do you set up the Partner to put callers on the air with their Gentner interface. Currently, the engineer selects a line on an adapted phone that runs to the Gentner. Can you connect directly as a analog station and transfer calls or do you use the AUX jack on a Partner phone and have the engineer select the line?

Thanks,
Frank

for the am signal, i have had this situation before. radio shack has an inline filter that will take the radio signal out. these are a small resistor looking type unit about 2 inches long. i just slipped them between the port and the phone at the 66 block, one per pair on either tip or ring, not both wires. worked great.

I've read that in some instances a coiled handset cord can act as an antenna. That would need a different approach to resolve.

We have a few office buildings with that problem.Here is what we do.Take the ferrite bead (little black hinged thing that nobody ever used) that used to come with ACS 3,4,5 for use I think for the contact closure and wrap the line cord twice around it.Do this for each phone within 10 inches of the phone itself.Hopefully you have a bunch laying around.
