Do you guys have Follow-Me enabled when the EQs happen ?

The fix that Ryan found is to simply disable Follow-Me on one Classic that you will call the "Master".
OR, disconnect the cable going from that Master TO the "slave" Classic.   Or both.

This appears to stop this from happening and Follow-Me still works.

boB, 

No follow me on my system. Just a single CL150.

FWIW (butting in here) - I have three Classic's in "Follow Me". I manually did a EQ charge this past weekend. One Classic I have designated as "Master"...which has the WBJr and temp sensor. When I hit EQ-Start...all three Classic's displayed "EQUALIZE" and worked. Using Firmware REV 2096. No issues.

Thanks, Chris

It would appear that any Follow-Me related unwanted EQs only seem to occur if the loop-back phone cable is connected.

In other words, just call one of the Classics the  "master" Classic and don't connect it to the last Classic at all...

Haven't heard of 3 or more Classics in Follow-Me having the unwanted EQ occur either.

If there are only two Classics in Follow-Me, just use one and only one cable for the "slave" to read the Master Classic.
Just arbitrarily appoint one Classic as Master as long as it is being read through the single  phone cable.

Of course, now that we have inserted the tattle-tale code, it appears to have maybe solved
any of these issues !  Murphy at work ?

Glad I watched Ryan's video on how to set them up properly. When I grow up someday...might rewire to a 48v system (battery's and new inverter).
