color:#1F497D'>This seems to have mostly eliminated the problem. We’re
thinking there was a splice repaired that may be putting out more impedance now
which would have put the voltage just below the operable mark for these boxes.
I took a sidekick out to the location today and measured the voltage at the box
and it’s the same that we see in our CO. Additionally, we have tested on
the CO side (the vg ) and the code that we’re running (12.4(20)T) is only
putting out 22 volts normally, after a code upgrade (12.4(22)T) we have 39.5
volts. With the new code and the undocumented batt feed 2 command we get 41.5
volts. Just thought I would put that info out there for anyone in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
