You are a legend. I’ve been an installer for over a decade and now I’m going back and watching your “how to start a business” video’s. Any advice you give is greatly appreciated
Fun fact: hooking into a stranger's TNI (or NID) is called Beige Boxing in the world of phone phreaking. (mainly because one can make a beige box out of an ordinary phone, beige in color or not)
I use that old test set to listen in on my older sister, conversations with her boyfriend, and then blackmailing her. (I was 10 years old) she could never figure out how I had the information on her, so she left me alone. we are still good friends and laugh at the situation. Thanks for watching the video.
I have not heard the phrase "4 wire shout line" these testers are used on analog telephone lines, and therefore can only test one pair at a time. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe it helps the channel?

I was thinking the same thing. Used to butt into a line
I think some people call them test sets. However, most technicians call them butt sets.
When I was a kid, I always saw these hanging off the lineman's butt via the clip. How do you test a 4 wire shout line?

It's a handset that you hang from your belt near your butt.
It was most likely called a butt set to distinguish it from a regular handset.
