My mechanic shop has an old Meridian. He was about to trade it in for a newer system when his business partner decided to abscond.

Every time power blinks, he loses system programming. It wouldn't be so bad, but it defaults to pulse dialing. I visit, reprogram, and tell him it is almost time for that new system, then he cries the no-money blues.

If I recall correct, the DR5 s/ware cartridge contains a capacitor that holds voltage to prevent this. Do I just swap the cart and reprogram one last time? If this is so, do any of ya'll have a cheap cart with a good capacitor?

I don't mind getting credits for auto repairs, but would like to fix it permanently.


it's all tip and ring
