I have a Kenwood TS-700A that I love to use on local nets due to the great transmit audio that is known to Kenwoods.
But due to it's age it only has an option for a single ctcss tone.
The shipping from California to Pa. was super fast, I ordered it on tuesday in the am and it was at my QTH on thursday afternoon!
If you are experienced with reading schematics, have the one for your radio and can solder, installation is a 3 wire snap!
I had it installed and working in under a hour on the TS-700A.
Great way to bring an older rig back in service for more years of use for under $35.00 including shipping!!

I got my ham license in 1981 and ICOM IC2AT was my first HT. However, modern repeaters require CCTSS tone to access and IC2AT does not have this ability. Therefore, I have been looking for ways to add a tone card to this HT. ss-64 from Communications Specialists fit my purpose. The card is small and easily installed. Instruction is very clear. The result of the installation is very good and audio report is excellent. I used the modified IC2AT in Oxfam Trail walker 2008 for accessing the VHF repeaters. My HT has performed very well and flawlessly.

I've installed several different models of these boards into older gear with very good results. Finding sufficient room in the newer rigs/hts can sometimes be a challenge but the older rigs have never been a problem. For about $35.00 you can get that old rig into the local repeaters FB. The instructions are sufficient to get the job done in short order.
