BULLETIN # 960
MODEL: TS-950S/SD
SUBJECT: LOW VS-2 AUDIO

Early TS-950S Digital transceivers will not produce sufficient audio 
from the optional VS-2 voice synthesizer. The following modification 
will correct this condition.

NOTE: This modification has already been performed on models starting 
      with serial number 103XXXX.

REQUIRED PART:	47K OHM CHIP RESISTOR		PART # RK73FB2A473J

1. Disconnect the power cord and antenna.

2. Remove the top and bottom covers (18 screws).

3. Remove the top screw from each side of the front panel assembly.

4. Loosen the bottom screw on each side of the front panel assembly.

5. Pull the front panel assembly forward to expose the Digital and 
   Control boards.

6. Remove the two screws that secure Control board B/3 to the top of the 
   chassis and swing the board out of the way.

7. Remove the 4 screws from Control board A/3 and rotate the board down.

   THIS WORK WILL BE DONE ON THE FOIL SIDE OF CONTROL BOARD A/3.

1. Desolder and discard chip resistors R30 and R31.

2. Install a 47K ohm chip resistor in place of R30. Do not use 
   R31 (47K ohm) in the R30 position. Use a new resistor.

3. Reassemble the transceiver.

This modification is covered under the 1 year warranty.
Time required to perform the modification is 1 hr or less.
