Rick - 

I agree completely. I was trying keep the conversation "hands-on", but yes, there is a measurable difference. My Agilent scope has a very effective "mean" function, and the difference between the DSP SP and the 715 is 6 db with my conservative settings.

Mike, the difference in average talk power is not only "perceived", it is 
also real, if you run both technologies to the point of equal distortion.

Richard - 

I am not an expert on this topic, but I just went around with this myself 
prior to the recent purchase of a 715 Speech Processor. The built-in speech 
processor is an "audio" (DSP) processor. The 715 is an RF speech processor, 
and (according to the operators I have conversed with) there is a marked 
difference in percieved "loudness" and average signal strength indication 
between un-processed input, the "audio" processor and the 715 with the RF 
being the clear winner for loudness. Audio quality, eh...not so much. 

Hope this helps!

Why does TenTec list the 715 Speech Processor as an option for the Omni VII? 
I 
thought the built-in processor whould be more than sufficient.
