Hi All,
I bought 5 of these FOBs also. I had a couple of days this week to mod one. I have a link radio working with the DMK URI, so I haywired my FOB to a DB25F connector to match my current setup. Everything works like it should, PTT, COS. I had to add a resistive divider to get the TX audio in range. But, bottom line, everything sounds good. I used 1N4148 signal diodes in the COS and CTCSS lines instead of the schottky diodes, and I used a 2N7002 FET for the PTT. (I used it because it didn't need the 10K resistor.) The logic signal from the CM108 is 2V, but the FET keys up my TK805 just fine. Thanks for the heads up on the USB audio FOBs. Now all I have to do is upgrade to the new BBB release :-)

Just for
info....
Bought 5 fobs from Pats ebay link below. They arrived
2 days ahead
of schedule delivery date. Shipping was very fast.
Fobs are all CM-108 chips and as Pat indicated no
potting. All
detected fine when plugged in but they haven't
been put to actual
use yet.

I ordered one of these a few weeks ago to see what
it looked like and if it really had the proper chip
set.
I found that it was very easy to open it up to check
on the
circuit configuration, just pulls apart. It has
the correct IC
and no potting.
I followed up with a larger order. This particular
auction is
set up to allow for various quantities to be
ordered, with the
per unit price reflecting the larger quantity.
The unit price is $3.48 with free shipping.
I haven't run one of them with Asterisk yet, but
it talks to my
Lubuntu desktop and IDs properly.
The auction title is: "Wholesale USB
External 7.1
Channel 3D Virtual Audio Sound Card Adapter PC
Laptop"
