Default Telstar Electronics VoiceMax IS GARBAGE!

I conclude that the VOICEMAX issue has died, has had the funeral and now should
be buried.

Those who advocate high distortion levels and poor quality signals can spend
their $$$ and buy it.

Those who prefer low distortion and clean sounding signals won't.

Let the trip to the cemetery begin.

We know, it has been ripped apart on this newsgroup a few times. It's not
a good product. If fitted without using the correct alignment procedures
and test equipment it will ruin performance and cause splattering over the
bands and generate harmonics. Not many people who have the "really loud =
really far" mentality will know how to use test equipment, they tend to be
the ones with a lack of knowledge. Maybe the type who believe polishing
the aerial will lower the VSWR!
The circuit has no RF filtering for a start, it is not screened in any
way, it has a light that you will never see once the radio is put back
together and it will have no benefit over the microphone that was designed
to operate with the radio. It will cause distortion and harmonics unless
the radio is realigned using test gear. If you use that on AM/SSB you
will sound terrible, it is a waste of time. There is no way that the
circuit differentiates between a voice and background noises, so raising
the level many times and keeping it at 100% will mean that the sound will
just be a "noise". Compare that to a normal mic, audio nearer to it such
as the operator voice will be louder than what is in the background.
The product is out of date, has no market and probably would have been
better 20+ years ago.

I certainly wouldn't recommend it, from a radio engineers point of view.





Just like so called Engineers, your a dumb ass John.
Your are an Engineer? What a Trash truck radio Engineer?

There is a noise gate built in. Read his Good web site.
Just wondered on what happened to the Power amp He had.
