Randy, The RS, as others have suggested, did just as you want and yes they have not made them for a number of years. Every once in a while do see on ebay.
I've used a version of the ISD voice R/P IC for similar applications. The RS was 20 sec, but ISD made the same in their ISD14xx series in 20 to 4 minute units. JameCo has them. Would require some small interface to make it work such as use COS to force record and then strobe and playback and generate PTT. I think Hamtronics made about the same. They did a clever, non- documented, not good design engineering of the IC on the audio output on playback would go to about 2.5 VDC, 0 when dormant. They used it to generate a ptt on playback. It did work. I have a similar device I got in a trade about 10 years ago from a company who use to sell as a talking repeater controller. They used the slogan "our controllers speak for themselves". It lasted about a year. They went on to bigger and better things such as voice signs for such as "wet floor" signs for the blind. I have one of these you can have for the $7 shipping. I will have to dig in the junk box to find, but it is new, never been used in the box (old time wise). I'll look for it and do some studing to see what it would take to adapt it for your application. 73, ron, n9ee/r ps For some reason some seem to take a good subject and talk about other things such as language. Well, when it comes to hams they talk about a lot, hi. --- In [email protected], Randy Elliott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Greetings to the Group > > I need a little advise.
