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.


Please confirm, you are asking about an SS-32? Above, you made
mention of a TS-32..... The SS-32 is only an encoder. The TS-32 is
both encoder and decoder....



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.


Concerning the above, be advised, I think Communications
Specialists was bought out by a larger firm. They may be slower in
getting old information because of this..... or maybe not.....

I really didn't want to do this, but I am pretty sure I have a bunch
of com-spec encoders and decoders in storage. I'll dig around sometime
tomorrow if I have the chance and see what I can dredge up.

I'll still need to know which you really are looking for.
