Hi guys,

I'm an ageing G3, which is quite an old callsign in the UK, being
licenced in 1967.

I don't have a lot of knowledge of what happens on 11 mtrs.

I would really like to build up a RF Speech Processor if anyone makes a
kit. I guess some of the 27 Mhz versions are audio clippers/compressors
which are not that good on crowded bands with lots of local stations. I
know of a design by DF4ZS, but it is only available ready made, although 
he does provide full constructional info. Guess I might have to source 
the parts and make one myself from his circuit.

If anyone does know of such an item as a kit, please let me know.


Thanks.

Ken.
