>work arounds is the operative word. for no reason that i have been
able to suss out 2 channels started getting noise. checked all the
wires and connections...nothing. routed the patch cables to other
channels and noise followed the changes. then i plugged a patch cable
into the patchpoint below the channel insert (not wired to anything
and not touching the insert above and the noise disappeared. pull the
whole thing apart again and check for bad connections or touching
between 2 points and none exists. i even slid a piece of non
conductive material between the connections and nothing. so it's back
to the dummy cable insert into a non functioning patchpoint and the
noise is gone.
