So I placed a very ugly band-aid on this problem and walked away from it for too long. The problem happend again and I'm still baffled. Here are a few things that I know.
[ul]
[li]I think the orignal post was wrong, and the problem line has always been the DSL line, however I have now been told that static is showing up on both lines, but that could be confusion on the user's part because I'm using SWCA.[/li]
[li]The band-aid was to put a test-set in high-z and attach it to the line after the filter and the buzz went away.[/li]
[li]The CO has been tested again and again by Verizon, and they see all is well.[/li]
[li]I do remember that the provider had some initial issues with the line when they provided it, but the "fixed" it by doing something on their end which I though had something to do with power levels. (too long ago to remember)[/li]
[li]The static always follows the line, no matter what port I put it on, or what card is used (DS vs CI).[/li]
[li]The band-aid doesn't work, however if I touch with my bare hands the line when it is on the static goes away????[/li]
[li]Band-aid v2 is to clip the test set on one side of the line and the other clip is touching a grounded power strip's phone protection leads??? (I was desperate so I was trying to find something that didn't include me touching the line all day.) [/li]
[/ul]
Some things I'm going to try:
[ul]
[li]Removing ground from the MICS.[/li]
[li]Replacing the 66 block for the lines.[/li]
[li]Replace the MICS (I don't want to do this)[/li]
[li]Replace the MICS with whatever local 2-line phone system I can find and pray it works.[/li]
[/ul]
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks to all.
