TA-838/TTused as extension telephones

[HORNETD]

Can anyone tell me if the TA-838/TT can signal each other when they are used as extension telephones on a POTS line.

I'm still looking for an answer to this question!

This phone does not have a magneto/hand generator for signaling a switchboard like the SB-22 and so can not call another phone, like a TA-312 that needs to see AC magneto type signaling.

Check www.prc68.com for info. Brooke has a lot of information on the radio and telephone equipment.

Makes a nice garage phone though over the normal phone system.

I think this is the last of the analog field phones. Prior to this there was the TA-312 which could be upgraded to touch tone operation using the TA-955 touch tone adapter. The stock TA-312 and all prior analog field phones have used a hand cranked ring tone generator to signal the switchboard or ring the other phone in a point to point configuration. [h=3]Plain Old Telephone System Operation[/h] This analog phone can be connected to the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) by setting the Mode Select switch to 2-wire DC/CB (DC signaling and Common Battery). Connect a modular phone cord to the two black terminals and plug into a POTS modular socket. Ring volume max or to your ear. If ring volume is at min then turn on Ring Indicator switch to LED on ring. No local batteries are needed because the phone company supplies the common battery.

TA-1024's can signal each other. You can apply power to the circuit from one phone. Both phones will signal each other with a digital ring simply by lifting the handset.
