That is great, but for some reason Zetron will not let me put a number in for a custom call such as:
602.6hz

it will let me go as far as 602

Audio Loading Issues

Started interfacing some phones into Zetron Headset Interface boxes and noticed that it is loading the mic audio level down pretty noticeable if you pick up the handset..earpiece doesnt seem so bad.


Any workaround for this or are they going to have to just deal with it?
