We present a numerical model for calculation of spectra of synchrotron-self-Compton radiation sources, e.g., gamma-ray bursts and TeV blazars. The model implements sequential allowance of the Compton scattering and two-photon production of electron-positron pairs using precise quantum-electrodynamic expressions for the corresponding differential equations. The previously unknown phenomena revealed by using the model are discussed, and an example of modeling the actual spectrum observed in the afterglow of the GRB 190114C gamma-ray burst is presented.
