The resistor also fixes a problem when a jack is plugged into an FXO port of a Digium (zaptel) board. DTMF is not always decoded properly resulting in wrong numbers or other mis-dialed calls. It is normal for the output of an audio circuit that uses a hybrid to have a high value resistor across its output to normalize the output impedance, particularly in the higher impedence type circuits. (600-900 ohms in this case). It shunts transient voltages that accumulate across the coil's output.

GOOD JOB! Thanks for the post.

Maybe it's just me, but with them updating the lock down process every month on these devices, why don't they just add a f*ing resistor to the circuit board before shipping them out..

Thanks, but It's really not that difficult. A Radio Shack cheapo 15 watt iron should do it . Have fun....Snafu2

I used a 1/4 watt and it worked just as described. THANKS SNAFU2!!

Wow-good fix-now for the rest of us idiots that have never done any electrical stuff or soldered anything , what's a good way to get caller ID working? I have MJ with an out of area number, because they had none in my city. So I use Grand Central. The number is local from them. All calls go to that number and then it rings my new MJ number. My phone has talking caller ID. Will this work with MJ and what would be the best way to set it all up.? Do I set this up with MJ or GC?

Just added line 4 to a key/pbx with 40 extensions. Raspy audio. I added 100k across the line at the key sounds better. Not using Call ID here. May be the ringer EQ is balanced for 4 phones so it overdrives 1 phone. Neet stuff.
I list on craigslist and post the Grandcentral No to the listing. Relay it MJ. So far all My responce calls are long distance. MJ to the rescue Smile

I did a little 800 number Burnout here is the Video

I have a Uniden phone and it bugged me that the Caller ID didn't work with it. Tried this fix and BINGO!

Caller ID now works on all my phones.

Thanks for posting the fix!

I need to use the standard phone coupler fix, but I have a question. I have 2 different types of solder: Rosin-Core Solder (0.50 diameter), and Silver-Bearing (.015 diameter), which one should I use?
