>The Simple Patch
>
>     The  simplest way to patch a phone line to another piece  of 
>equipment  is  to use a couple of capacitors to block  the  phone 
>line  DC.   While this simple approach will work in a  pinch,  it 
>will  tend to introduce hum to the line because of the  unbalance 
>introduced.  The capacitors used should be nonpolar, at least  2-
>ohm F, and rated at 250 volts or better (see fig.1).
>
>     To  hold  the line, the patch should provide a  DC  load  by 
>means  of  a resistor (R6) or by simply leaving a phone  off  the 
>hook.  The receiver output may need a DC load (R7) to prevent the 
>output stage from "motorboating."  Use two capacitors to maintain 
>the balance.
>
>     With all patches hum can be lessened by reversing the  phone 
>wires.  A well-made patch will have no discernible hum.
>
>
>The Basic Phone Patch
>
>     Because  a phone line is balanced and carries DC as well  as 
>an  AC signal, a patch should include a DC block, a balun, and  a 
>DC load to hold the line.  The best component for doing this is a 
>600-ohm 1:1 transformer such as those used in professional  audio 
>and for coupling modem signals to the phone line, available  from 
>most electronics supply houses.  Old telephone answering machines 
>are   also   a  good  source  of  600-ohm   transformers.    Some 
>transformers are rated at 600-900 ohms or 900-900 ohms; these are 
>also  acceptable.   Make sure that the transformer  has  a  large 
>enough  core,  because  DC current will be  flowing  through  it.  
>(Some  small-core transformers become saturated and  distort  the 
>signal.) 
>
>     In section 68.304 of the FCC Part 68 regulations, it  states 
>that  a coupling transformer should withstand a 60 Hz 1kV  signal 
>for one minute with less than 10 mA leakage.  For casual use this 
>may seem unimportant, but it provides good protection against any 
>destructive  high voltage that may come down the phone line,  and 
>into  the  Amateur's equipment.  A 130 to 250  volt  Metal  Oxide 
>Varistor  (MOV)  across  the  phone  line  will  provide  further 
>protection if needed.  
>
>     The  DC resistance of the transformer winding may be so  low 
>that  it hogs most of the phone line current.   Therefore,  while 
>using  a phone in parallel for monitoring and dialing - which  is 
>recommended  -  the audio level on the incoming line may  be  too 
>low.   Resistors  R1A  and R1B (see fig.2) will  act  as  current 
>limiters  and allow the DC to flow through the phone  where  it's 
>needed.    If   possible,  these  resistors  should   be   carbon 
>composition types.
>
>     To  keep  the line balanced, use two resistors of  the  same 
>value  and adjust the values by listening to the dial tone  on  a 
>telephone  handset.  There should be little or no drop in  volume 
>when the patch transformer is switched across the phone line.
>
>     One  of these transformers, or even two capacitors,  can  be 
>used to patch two phone lines together, should there be a need to 
>allow  two  distant parties to converse.  There  will  be  losses 
>through the transformer so the audio level will degrade, but with 
>two good connections this will not be a problem.
>
>     On the other side of the transformer - which could be called 
>the  secondary winding - choose one pin as the ground and  attach 
>the shields of the microphone and headphone cables to it.  Attach 
>the inner conductors to the other pin.  The receiver output  will 
>work  well into the 600-ohm winding, and if transmitting  simplex 
>or  just  putting  receiver audio on the line there  will  be  no 
>crosstalk  or  feedback  problems.   In  some  cases,  the  audio 
>amplifier  in a receiver does not have enough output to feed  the 
>phone line at an adequate level; this can be handled by using the 
>transformer with two secondaries (see the "improved" patch below) 
>or by coupling a 8:1 kilohm transformer between the audio  output 
>and  600-ohm transformer.  If RF is getting into the  transmitter 
>input, a capacitor (C1) across the secondary should help.  A good 
>value  for the lower bands and AM broadcast interference  is  0.1 
>uF.   For  higher frequencies, 0.01 uF usually gets  rid  of  the 
>problem.  Unshielded transformers are sensitive to hum fields and 
>building  any patch into a steel box will help alleviate  hum  as 
>well as RFI.
>
>
>The Improved Phone Patch
>
>     Several enhancements can be made to the basic phone patch to 
>improve  operation.  The first is the addition of  a  double-pole 
>double-throw switch to reverse the polarity of the phone line  to 
>reduce  hum.  This may not be necessary with a patch at the  same 
>location  with the same equipment, but if it is, experiment  with 
>the  polarity of the transformer connections and adjust  for  the 
>least  hum.   Most of the time the balance will be so  good  that 
>switching  line polarity makes no difference.  The switch  should 
>have a center "off" position or use a separate double-pole single 
>throw switch to disconnect from the line.  The two secondaries on 
>the  "improved"  patch (fig.3) should be checked for  balance  by 
>connecting  the  receiver and transmitter and  checking  for  hum 
>while  transmitting and receiving.  Switch the shield  and  inner 
>conductors of the secondaries for minimum hum.
>
>     Many transmitters do not offer easy access to the microphone 
>gain control.  There may also be too much level from the patch to 
>make  adjustment of the transmit level easy.  Placing R10  across 
>the  transformer allows easy adjustment of the level.  It can  be 
>set  so  that when switching from the station microphone  to  the 
>patch the transmitter microphone gain control does not need to be 
>adjusted.   This  will  also  work  on  the  basic  600-ohm   1:1 
>transformer.   Most  of  the  time a  1  kilohm  potentiometer  - 
>logarithmic  if  possible  - will work well.  If  not,  a  linear 
>potentiometer  will  do. A 2.5kilohm  potentiometer  may  provide 
>better control.
>
>
>Deluxe Operation and VOX
>
>     Using  VOX  with  a phone patch may  cause  a  problem  with 
>receive  audio going down the line and into the  transmit  input, 
>triggering the VOX.  There may not be enough Anti-VOX  adjustment 
>to  compensate for this.  The usual solution for this problem  is 
>to use a hybrid transformer, a special telephone transformer with 
>a phasing network to null out the transmit audio and keep it  off 
>the  receive line.  Most telephones employ a similar  transformer 
>and circuit so that callers will not deafen themselves with their 
>own voices.  These devices are called "networks" (see figs. 4 and 
>5).
>
>     A network can be removed from an old phone and modified into 

>a  deluxe patch, or the phone can be left intact and  connections 
>made  to  the line and handset cords.  The line  cord  should  be 
>coupled to a 600-ohm 1:1 transformer  to keep the ground off  the 
>line.   Note,  in the network schematics, that the  receiver  and 
>transmitter  have a common connection; when coupling into  radios 
>or other unbalanced devices, make this the ground connection.
>
>     There may be confusion about terms used in the network.  The 
>telephone  receiver  is receiving the phone line audio,  and  the 
>transmitter is transmitting the caller's voice.  For phone  patch 
>use,  a telephone receive line is coupled to the transmitter  and 
>the  transmit line is coupled to the radio receiver.  This  is  a 
>fast  way to put together  a phone patch and may be adequate  for 
>VOX use.
>
>     A better patch can be built by using a network removed  from 
>a  phone or purchased from a local telephone supply house.   This 
>approach  offers the added advantage of being able to  adjust  or 
>null the sidetone.  The circled letters in figs. 4 and 6 refer to 
>the  markings on the network terminal block.  These  letters  are 
>common to all United States networks made by Western Electric (AT 
>&  T), ITT, Automatic Electric, Comdial, Stromberg  Carlson,  and 
>ATC.
>
>     To  make  sidetone  adjustable, remove R4  (R5  in  European 
>networks)  and  replace it with R11 (for  European  networks  use 
>R12).   The Western Electric Network comes  point-to-point  wired 
>and sealed in a can;  the other networks are mounted on PCBs.  To 
>remove  R4 from the Western Electric network, the can has  to  be 
>opened  by bending the holding tabs.  Don't be surprised to  find 
>that  the network has been potted in a very sticky, odious  paste 
>that has the texture of hot chewing gum and the odor of  unwashed 
>shirts.  (This material - alleged to be manufactured according to 
>a  secret formula - will not wash off with soap and  water.   The 
>phone company has a solvent for it, but because one of the secret 
>ingredients is said to be beeswax, ordinary beeswax solvents such 
>as  gum  turpentine, mineral turpentine (paint thinner  or  white 
>spirit)  and  kerosene  will work.)  To remove the  bulk  of  the 
>potting  compound,  heat the opened can for 30 minutes in  a  300 
>degree F (148 degree C) oven, or apply heat from a hot  hairdryer 
>or heatgun.  You can also put the can out in the hot sun under  a 
>sheet  of  glass.  Don't use too much heat  because  the  plastic 
>terminal strip may melt.  Even with a film of compound  remaining 
>on it, the network can be worked on.
>
>
>Using a Patch
>
>     For efficient use, a patch should have a telephone connected 
>in parallel with it.  This enables the operator to dial,  answer, 
>and  monitor  calls  to and from the patch, as well  as  use  the 
>handset for joining in conversations or giving IDs.
>
>     One useful modification to the control telephone is adding a 
>mute  switch to the handset transmitter.  This allows  monitoring 
>calls without letting room noise intrude on the line.  It's  also 
>a  good modification for high noise environments,  where  ambient 
>noise enters through the handset transmitter and is heard in  the 
>receiver,  masking  the incoming call.   Muting  the  transmitter 
>makes calls surprisingly easy to hear.  The mute switch can be  a 
>momentary switch used as a "Push-To-Talk" (PTT) or a Single  Pole 
>Single  Throw (SPST) mounted on the body of the phone  for  long-
>term monitoring.  The switch should be wired as Normally  Closed, 
>so  that the transmitter element is muted by shorting  across  it 
>(see  fig.4).   This makes the mute "clickless." If  the  monitor 
>phone uses an electret or dynamic transmitter it should still  be 
>wired as shown in fig.4.
>
>     Transmit  and receive levels on the phone line are a  source 
>of  confusion  that  even  telephone  companies  and   regulatory 
>agencies  tend  to  be vague about.  The  levels,  which  can  be 
>measured  in  various ways, vary.  But all  phone  companies  and 
>regulatory  agencies  aim for the same goals;  enough  level  for 
>intelligibility,  but  not enough to cause crosstalk.   The  most 
>trouble-free  way  to set the outgoing level on the patch  is  to 
>adjust  the  feed onto the phone line until  it  sounds  slightly 
>louder  than the voice from the distant party on the phone  line.  
>If  the level out from the patch is not high enough, the  distant 
>party will ask for repeats and tend to speak louder to compensate 
>for  a "bad line."  In this case, adjust the level to  the  patch 
>until  the other party lowers his or her voice.  The best way  to 
>get a feel for the level needed is to practice monitoring on  the 
>handset  by  feeding a broadcast station down the phone  line  to 
>another  Amateur  who can give meaningful signal  reports.   It's 
>difficult to send too much level down the phone while  monitoring 
>because  the  signal  would  simply be  too  loud  to  listen  to 
>comfortably.  The major problem is sending too little signal down 
>the line.
>
>     Coupling  the phone line into the radio transmitter  is  not 
>much  more difficult than adjusting a microphone to work  with  a 
>radio  transmitter.   Depending  on  the  setup,  the  RF  output 
>indication  on  a wattmeter, the ALC on the transmitter  or  even 
>listening  to the transmitted signal on a monitor  receiver  will 
>help  in adjusting the audio into the radio  transmitter.   Phone 
>lines  can  be  noisy,  and  running  too  much  level  into  the 
>transmitter  and  relying on the ALC to set  the  modulation  can 
>cause  a fair amount of white noise to be transmitted.   Watching 
>the RF output while there are no voice or control signals on  the 
>line  will  help  in  adjusting  for  this.   VOX  operation  can 
>alleviate  the problem of noise being transmitted  during  speech 
>pauses. 
>
>     A  hybrid patch used for VOX operation needs to be  adjusted 
>carefully  for  good performance.  If it has a  null  adjustment, 
>this  should be set before adjusting the VOX controls.   Using  a 
>separate receiver/transmitter setup is the easiest to adjust  the 
>patch.    The  phone  line  should  be  attached  to   a   silent 
>termination:  the  easiest way to do this is to dial  part  of  a 
>number; another way to do it is call a cooperative friend.   Tune 
>the  shack receiver to a "talk" broadcast station or use the  BFO 
>as  a heterodyne.  With the transmitter keyed into a dummy  load, 
>set  the  null  adjustment potentiometer R11  (R12  for  European 
>phones)  for  a minimum RF output on the  transmitter.   Using  a 
>transceiver, place an oscilloscope or audio voltmeter across  the 
>microphone input terminals and, while receiving a signal,  adjust 
>for  the  lowest voltage.  For proper operation,  it's  important 
>that the phone be connected to the patch during these adjustments 
>since  the  hybrid  relies  on  all  inputs  and  outputs   being 
>terminated.
