I thought the TS-64 is a tone panel/ controller. We have added them to a R-100 repeater to give them a group of users for a GMRS group we had here at one time.

At one time we were a Maxon dealer and got one of there repeater package (factory made) . Well we had so much problems with it, I think in less that a week it went back and we even took a 20% restocking hit but was happy to send it back.

The controller is actually a ComSpec TS64 and the 2 radios are 4 channel maxons. The white wire (rx audio mute) is used to drive the PTT on the transmit radio. What we are finding is that it doesn't keep the repeater in transmit mode, it stutters. Semi weak signal heard by the receiver (almost a clear signal) will cause the transmitter to cut in and out or not work at all. We asked for help from the dealer who promised a new controller but never has delivered (its on the test bench). Anyone have suggestions on what might be causing this problem? Is there there something we need to put between the comspec and the mic ptt line? Or is the ComSpec bad? A different controller could be a possibility but not really in the budget (especially when the dealer said they made a ton of these and they all work great). What are we missing? This is GMRS so no Iders required. Thanks for the help. Craig
