Default Com-spec board

You're most likely correct on that, but I was still trying to get the
"actual" schematic and whatever else I could scrounge up. I've contacted
Com-Spec. I've got the info on all their other units but this one. Amazing -
the confusion it is causing. Depending on the layout "you" forwarded -
showing 2 ICs instead of the 3 present - which I had already printed out
before your reference - and the TS 32 - which has 2 transistors and mine
only has 1 - and no - none were removed. Yeah, I had googled every hit I
could find - but couldn't find an "absolute" match to this board. It even
took me into some "ham" forums which had nothing more than chatter about
said board.

I can't wait to see their reply. Maybe they made "two" versions of the TS
32! I am not personally aware of that - but - who knows........ I mean -
their own chart indicates only (2) models used the IC on this board - yet
neither lay out that I've seen/found - seems to match up part for part! The
two models "they" claim - using this IC are - TS 32 and SS 32. Both are
obsolete (according to their records) - yet "Instruction sheets" are to be
available, which most of them "did" include board layout, schematic and
programming.

FWIW - I DO appreciate your help in this matter. I just wonder how long I
may have to wait for a reply. Some companies are pretty quick and others, I
have to wonder if they ever bother to check any e-mail! I've waited
sometimes "weeks" to get replies - if at all - from some companies. I'll
keep you posted on what I find out.

I know that! I'm trying to get a copy of the "board" lay out,
schematic and hook up. As I said, this board has "A" transistor
difference than the TS 32



The site I gave did have a board layout and hookup. Just how different
from that board layout is your slightly older unit? One or two IC's should
not make much difference from the overall layout already cited. This is
a
simple CTCSS encoder. It only has three connections to it. There are only
three pins on that board, one for Ground, one for A+, and the output
pin. There will probably be a diode right off the A+ pin, the ground pin
should be obvious if you look at the underlying traces, and the output
pin
will be off notabily separate from the A+ and ground pins and should be
capacitively fed.
