[TenTec] Omni VI speech processor / Steve Baron

[KD7EFQ at aol.com]

Hi Steve, I have found that it depends on my operating style at the time. I 
don't use the processor for ragchewing at all. However if I am talking to weak 
mobiles, DX chasing etc.
I use a little processing, Just enough to just hit the very beginning of the 
black processing zone on the meter. Most ragchewers hate processors, but when 
working weak stations that
have trouble hearing you, exchange of information audio is more important 
than Hi Fi quality
audio. I follow the manual on setting processor level / mic gain carefully 
and then back the processor off a little. Omni VI's can get really nasty really 
quick with too much mic gain or not the proper ratio of processor level / mic 
gain. I find being conservative with it pays off. 73.
