The computer I have always used to program my CTG-2 crashed, so I had to replace it with a new one. Is there a way to capture the data from the CTG-2 and save it to the new computer?
Yes there is and we have a written procedure on how to do it.  See DOD # 899 for complete details.

I am wiring a C-2000, C-2000A or C-2000B into a trunk port/FXO Port on my phone system and I get a constant clicking from the controller when I access that trunk port/FXO port. What does this mean?
