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.
