An external device as you describe was considered during the design
phase... but we decided that an external box (although easier to hook
up initially) was unsightly with all the wires hanging all over, had
mounting issues, and therefore was much less reliable in the long run.
It also has problems accomodating different mic/radio plugs. The
VoiceMax requires the cutting of a single trace within the receiver
and works with any non-amplified dynamic mic. Since it's inside the
rig... you set it up once... and enjoy the benefit each & every
transmission without doing a thing. Hope that answers your comment/
question.


So you can't adjust the threshold on the noise gate? That's pretty
lame. So you set the threshold to trigger at a certain level, like
during normal driving. So what happens when you are towing a boat up a
hill with the windows open? How do you prevent it from chattering like
a chimp with the hiccups? Does it have hysteresis to smooth out the
chatter? If so, how long do you have to hum into the mic before you
can start talking? If not, and you have to set it high enough to
prevent chatter, how loud do you have to speak so your audio isn't
chopped up?

I don't think you've thought through this whole noise gate thing,
Brian. You certainly haven't tested it much under real conditions, if
at all. If you did you wouldn't be selling it.


And BTW, since your non-linear linear has been discontinued, why won't
you post the schematic?
