There are certainly pros & cons with either approach. One big problem
in the external design is the need for a battery. Our feeling was that
things with batteries can be problematic... and require additional
monitoring to make sure the unit is functioning on a daily basis. This
increased "battery vigilance" was one of the main reasons the internal
design was chosen. Another issue is definately the radio's internal
limiter. On most radios... this is factory set at around 85% possible
modulation. If you want to take full advantage of the VoiceMax 100%
constant modulation capability... the radios limiter needs to be
adjusted/disabled.

Brian,

Apart from the question raised over the typical radio settings,
was the idea of the processor not to reduce the dynamic
range of the audio, rather than simply increase the
maximum modulation?

You appear to be suggesting that this processor works by
the person turning their radio up.

The VoiceMax has built in limiting... so a
redundant system is not needed.

Unless, at some time, someone decides to remove the
processor? Maybe they don't like it, maybe they want a
standard radio, who knows - but I have heard of many
non-standard boards being removed for various reasons.
This may not be the person who fitted it, so they will be
totally unaware of the removal of important cricuits
within the radio.
Then they have a radio with no limiting.

It sounds like you have no plans to
open your radio... so VoiceMax is not for you.

This is where I start to get some serious concerns...
1. Do you really want to supply the customer, or simply
make up your own ideas and con people into buying them?
2. If I had issues with a product I got from you, why should
I expect anything more than Vinnie got... a big "blow off"?

The suggestion that you would not sell your product to
Frank also suggests a couple of things...
1. You have something to hide, something that Frank could find.
2. You have a limited customer base, and intend to keep it that
way - no selling through dealers, so you can control who is
allowed to buy one.

You should know very well that I have no issues with you
personally, but these are the impressions I am getting. I
also doubt if you impressed Vinnie, a potential customer. How
many more will question your commitment to the customer?

Frank can stand there throwing punches all day, he is not
the one stood in quicksand.
