                                My experience with the sound fobs that
                                look similar to yours , You will still
                                need to solder to Pin 13 to get the PTT
                                logic. No way around that as on the
                                CM-108 chip Pin 13 is not connected to
                                anything so no place else to get that
                                logic other than soldering a wire to the
                                pin.<br>
                                <br>
                                As for the COS signal (CM-108 Pin 48)
                                that can be gotten from the left side of
                                the volume down switch SW1 if you want
                                to avoid soldering the COS line to Pin
                                48 on the sound chip. CTCSS can be
                                retrieved from the right side of volume
                                up SW2<br>
                                <br>
                                The Green LED is still the heartbeat
                                indicator.  <br>
                                The Red Led on the Fob is <b>NOT</b>
                                the same as the PTT LED indicated on the
                                modification schematic.<br>
                                <br>
                                In fact if you go here <a

                                <br>
                                You will find a good description of the
                                connections on that particular fob.<br>

                                <pre>I previously got the CM108 sound fob from startech and had to solder to the tiny pin.

With this one 

<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ebay.com/itm/291156304476?_mwBanner=1&varId=590306532025" target="_blank">http://ebay.com/itm/291156304476?_mwBanner=1&varId=590306532025</a>

It looks like it already has both LED's installed. I am assuming the red led is the same as the transmit LED.

If this is so, does that mean I don't have to solder to the tiny pin on the CM108 and I can just drive a transistor with the same wire as the LED for PTT?
