Ok I finally found the book for the repeater.
The repeater has a board the can have up to 16 TS-32P's. The board has a low
pass filter in it that can be used if needed. The manufacture notes that
some systems put out more noise from the discriminator than others and is
the reason they have the filter. They go on to in detail how to determine if
the filter is needed or not.
The discriminator output runs to the board, if used goes through the filter,
then into an amp to go into a splitter. This in turns feeds audio to the
decoders. If the decoder is not used then a 600 ohm resistor is inserted
where the decoder goes. This is to provide a constant load to the splitter
output.
During the testing of the repeater I found the decode delay to be about
400mS or more. The lower the tone to longer it took. I then used the filter
and the decode time was less than 100mS for all tones used.
You are correct in that the TS-32 and TS-64 do not have this feature. My
apologizes to the group.
The company that manufactured this board has long since gone away. I have
not been able to find anything other than a community repeater tone
controller which this is to take it's place. This thing was manufactured a
very long time ago, probable before the programmable unit hit the market. It
does however show that another board can be used to expand the number of
decoders that can be used. It also has a feature to use a different encode
tone that the decode tone.
