    Two Barkers !

    Does anyone else have them . Mine is on 999 and 8-15 right in the middle of the ota channels. Isn't this a waste of bandwidth ?. Couldn't they just use 999 for another channel ?

    Land Phone line issue...Overloading?

    No ChetK I work for an alarm company and what you should do is tell them you need a POT splitter on your line and not all those stupid microfilters. Here in Cinci the local telco does it for free if you tell them what your set up is.
