Mike, Thanks for the info. The writer of the posting did excellent job...must have been from a number of people for lots of info there.
I buy about 50-60 TS64DSs/yr and each comes with a very good data sheet with good data on each wire. The TS64 offers many features some of which are not listed in the data sheet. The only problem I see with decoders like the TS64 using a LPF followed by a CPU to count/period average the CTCSS tone is multi-tone signals. Have not tried, but would think 2 tones would interfer with the decoding. Unlike the reeds or maybe the older TS32. Using the TS64's CPU it let Com Spec easily expand to a community repeater controller like their TS3200 since the CPU could detect any tone. In the TS64 it was set up to only give logic output if tone matched the tone selected by the dip switches, but still the CPU knew whatever tone received. Another example of the power of a CPU with software. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Mike Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/07/12 Thu PM 04:04:23 CDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II and RC-1000V > >At 04:29 AM 07/12/07, you wrote: >>Clyde, >> >>On the TS64 it is excellent decoder/encoder.
