Default Com-spec board


The same could be said to you! I HAD THAT DOCUMENTATION BEFORE "YOU"
REFERRED TO IT!


Considering that in your first three posts you kept saying you were
looking for schematics, I must profess that I figured you didn't have a
schematic! I know realize you're looking for a slightly different
schematic. That part wasn't clear to me. ( see more, below )


I still claim it shows a different parts lay out and the schematic
differs when tracing it out. I have figured out the wiring in so far
as hooking it up for service since I did look at "that" documentation.
I am just trying to figure out why there seems to be a discrepancy. I
realize that the TS 32 as shown has Q1 and Q2 which does a particular
job - and mine only has Q1 - with no Q2 and thus does the job of
"just" the Q1 as shown of the two transistor set up. There are some
differences in jumpers made mention of in "that" documentation "not"
on "this" board - and there are a couple on "this" board - NOT in that
documentation. This isn't something to get all "huffy" about. I
thanked you for your help. If that is all you've been able to offer -
fine. I know enough about it to use it as needed. Just thought there
might be something more definitive out there.


Sorry about the "huffyness", but when you appeared to ask a question
that I thought I had already answered, I wondered if you were
"listening". I now hear you... you know how to hook it up. No problem,
then.

As far as any differences between the unit you have and the drawing
supplied by Com-Spec... manufacturers do tend to make minor changes to
their circuits over time. The TS-32 is one product that has been in
production for many many years. Minor component changes and design
changes to enhance reliability or cut costs are not unexpected, and don't
always get updated on company website technical data.. Still, the
hookup data should be valid, which is all that most people need.

Communications Specialists Inc. does have an 800 number. Have you
tried calling them on this issue? I recall in years past that the
company was very good at customer support. Hopefully that remains the
same today. Might be worth it if you're really want info on that
slightly different board.
