I've never seen this on incoming calls, only outgoing calls.

Hi Guys

Has anyone seen Dahdi dropping incoming calls with Hangup cause 27?
It only drops whilst we are on the phone?
Its not every single call
Any ideas?

No, the group=63 lines are actually redundant. It is the settings *above* each channel=> line that get applied to the channels when they are created.

To the OP: what does "pri show span 3" give you on Voip1?

It might be useful to see the complete chan_dahdi.conf from Voip1.
To save space, you can list it without comments like this:

# grep -v '^;' /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

Cheers
