No.

Not in my experience anyway.  Defects will not even take note of reported faults
with Indicators.

A couple more gripes:   Some of them take about 3 minutes to even ask for the
destination code.  When you type it in, they will often change the number as you
type it.  For example, type 69, and 63 appears on the screen.  This takes
another 3 minutes.  Press Clear.  Wait another 3 minutes.  Type number again -
correct numbers go in this time.  Wait another 3 minutes.  Correct Indication
now displayed - It took 12 minutes, 3 of which had the wrong destination showing
up the front.
