Can You Use This Speakerphone With A Dsl Filter?

My phone will work with my DSL filter until I use the speaker function. I can hear people but they cannot hear me when I am using the speaker. I work from home and having a speakerphone would be a great help to me! Any ideas?

Your DSL modem produces frequencies starting just above the audible range. Your speakerphone is "hearing" this and is being fooled into thinking the person you called is always talking. It turns your speaker on and turns the built in microphone off to prevent feedback. Thus they cannot hear you but you can hear them.

The DSL filter is not removing enough of the signal to prevent the problem. A newer speakerphone will probably have the necessary additional filtering built in.
