Interesting -
Stan at TenTec HQ says the Omni VII built-in
speech compressor uses "AF Based" compression.
And... yet...
Page 31 of my owner's manual states:
"The speech processor used in the Omni VII is a
DSP generated RF compressor. ... RF Compression
raises the average output power... with a digitally
generated RF speech processor... we have the
advantage of calculating the RF envelope before
modulation is performed..."
Page 38 Specifications says:
"Speech Processor: RF compression, 0-9 adjustment."
So... perhaps one might understand how I came to wonder about this.
The phrases, "DSP generated RF compression" and "RF compression" do
not exactly sound like "AF compression" to me.
;-)
Parenthetically... I paid my dues and purchased the Model 715 when it
first came out. I was just wondering if it was redundant, if the Omni
VII function was, in fact, RF-based at it sounded (to me, anyway) in the
owner's manual.
THANKS AND HAPPY TRAILS.
