Hello there and welcome,
The lf555afosc1.pdf file download is the diagram (with notations) of Sub-Tone (CTCSS or "PL")
Oscillator, made with the famous 555 timer IC set up for astable-multivibrator operation. The
values shown place the tone range near the center of the standard CTCSS Sub-Tone Range. You
can build this circuit very small, about postage stamp size. Connection is made to the "high
side" of your transmitters deviation pot (not at the mic input).
The comparator operation of the 555 provides a measure of stability against voltage fluctuations.
You can adjust the tone range with slight value changes in the .1uf capacitor. This circuit also
makes a nice DC Clock Pulse Generator by taking the output as noted. The file is in Adobe PDF
format, but you can right click your mouse and save the gif file picture (shown just above) from
this description page.
enjoy

We/I get a lot of Email from visitors who drop into these file down load description pages
via a web search "engine" (like Google). Vistors are not able to locate the file download
icon for that specific description page. There is a simple way to find the file download
icons on the main http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic sonic
web page...
First and best: Use the menu icon just below to the main sonic page.
Second: Back space out the page your now looking at in your browser location line. As an example,
using the http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic.so2004.html description page. Remove the last portion
of the web location with the keyboard back space key to read http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic
then press your Enter Key to reload the main sonic page "just in front" which would probably
has the inforamation you're looking for. This works on most of the current browsers at most web
sites.
Third: You can always contact me using the Email Icon below. I'll try to get a back to you
