<p class="MsoNormal">Phone’s are not ringing, but offhook is showing -43V
onhook. When ring comes in I see a voltage drop. The butt set is fancy
and has a reading that shows 38V while offhook (hearing dialtone)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The VG224 data sheet show 50Vrms into 5REN. What will
a volt meter show? I use a volt meter about once every 5 years…</p>
