Skip, here is a link to my most recent experience with the TS-64: <http://sbarcnm.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=108.0;attach=154>
This was the version sold for the GE Mastr II. I had to OR two receivers for the transmit CTCSS (repeater receiver and link receiver). I used the filtered audio supplied by the TS-64 to supply the audio input to the controller so I would not have problems with the input/output CTCSS beat frequency problem. I routed audio and control signals out the unused frequency select pins directly adjacent to the TS-64 board for access on the rear of the unused GE Mastr II Molex connectors with no alteration or soldering to the Mastr II repeater. The repeater has been in service for a year now with this configuration and the CTCSS decode and control works all OK. I found the TS-64 ideally configured to work in the repeater environment, and did not have to add any wires to the standard GE harness to complete the repeater install with a link radio. 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On Fri, 8/14/09, skipp025 <[email protected]> wrote: From: skipp025 <[email protected]> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Com Spec TS-64 DS To: [email protected] Date: Friday, August 14, 2009, 11:06 AM Any of you worked with a Com Spec TS-64 or TS-64 DS lately? I have two topics to mention in this post. The first is the dip switch daughter board under the TS-64 making the same unit the TS-64 DS. Anyone have any additional information regarding the daughter board? Anyone used the Daughter Board for applications other than the dip switch? The second bit of fun (topic) is related to the Voice Audio CTCSS Filter being tied to the Discriminator Input. The old TS-32 boards has a separate input for the Voice Audio Filter and the Discriminator Input. Seems kind of a shoot yourself in the foot limitation when you permanently connect the two different inputs together. Anyone run into the above issues and what did you do about it? cheers, skipp
