thing is, I don't have the theory expertise that you, James, or Frank have. But
I am one of the few people that uses CB, that can open the radio up and read
schemtics, and follow directions for mods. I would guess that 95% of the people
still in CB, cannot do this, and would have to take it to a CB shop and have it
installed for anywhere from $30-5-. Why would they do this? As far as the
battery problem, there are a couple options. One is to put 12VDC terminals on
it, or simply use a 12V battery. Hell, the 9V battery in my mike lasts for
years.
Second question is, before I hack into my radio, how much better is this than my
Turner +3B with Speech Compression?

I'm not trying to encourage or discourage you... just trying to give
you the facts. I agree that there are many people that don't have the
expertise to install such a device. These folks would have to seek the
help of a technically competent person... such as a CB shop as you
mention. I would suggest that you supply any potential installer with
the installation manual at http://www.telstar-electronics.com/VoiceMax%20B.pdf
.... to see if they feel they are capable of the job. As for your
question about the Turner... sorry... I have no knowledge regarding
this unit.
