[TenTec] Omni VII Speech Processor Question

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

For clarity on this point, James is referring to an email I sent him
off-line comparing AF and RF compression, NOT my post earlier to the group,
which Carl corrected.

Cheers
Rick, DJ0IP

HOLD THE PHONE, GUYS.... IT IS AN RF-BASED COMPRESSOR AFTER ALL!

	HERE IS WHAT STAN BROCK SENT TODAY, which
	appears to have some input form the infamous
	John Henry... I love to see tag-team
	problem- solving!

Based on this explanation, and what Rick, DJ0IP says, I will keep my Model
715, notwithstanding the Omni VII has an RF-based compressor after 
all.   Sometimes a dedicated device can do better than another device 
which must handle multiple duties and functions.

	Rick usually has good advice... even if I don't
	move on it right away ...   ;-)


Thanks for the input !
