Looks pretty clear-cut.

Well after wiring the toy up, I lost all output in the radio Trying to finding 12 volts proved a bit difficult so I first tried 9 volts and nothing happened. Then I found 13.4 and added some resistance to get it 12.3 volts. As soon as I powered the radio, a resistor by the audio transformer started to smoke so I immediately unplugged it. Took out the toy and have no output. I remember now what kind it is, it's a train horn. But the little radio was a flea mkt find for $5 so there's no loss. May be a bad module, who knows. Not a big fan of noise toys and echo anyway. I guess I could've used my mic tester to try it rock begin with, smh. Thanks anyway fellas!!
For future reference, 13.8v (power supply voltage) can be found on the back of your on/off volume control. One terminal is always 13.8v regardless of the switch position. The other terminal is 13.8v on or off depending on the switch position. That module was meant for 13.8 volts, although they will work with less. No dropping resistor was required.
Yeah that sounds right, the power switch is always hot. Was just too much to wire in that small area and look decent. I wasn't gonna try lower voltages first to be sure it even still worked. I figured no harm in that approach, but was proved wrong. it's a good end to it anyway, I despise toys and echo. 99% of folks don't know the difference between echo and presence. Thanks for your reply tho!

I think some sounds are ok but there are a few locals that have one that I can't stand. On key up they have a horrible feed back squeal. I told one of them that it sounded like a mic problem. He informed me that it was supposed to sound like that.

Yeah we've got a few here that have the Brownings with the capacitor in it amd the key up is so annoying. A roger beep or something is alright but lord those toys can get aggravating
I'm in agreement about those aggravating noise toys. At one time I was thinking about using one of his modules as an automatic voice ID on a UHF node repeater. If you send him an mp3 file he will make a custom module from it. I later rejected that idea because there are better options for that purpose, plus I wanted to record my own.
The one with two chips is either a double beep, or a roger "k", morse code letter K. Dash, dot, dash.
Red is power, black is ground blue is audio out. You unhook the wire on the transmit pin of the mike jack and connect it to the yellow wire. The green wire goes to the transmit pin on the mike socket. Orange wire shuts it off when grounded.
Used to modify those boards to make "bump-bump" toys.
