Could this unit be worked into a scanner to keep the audio

Scott, OM...

Been done.
Not with the Splattermax, but something rather more basic. After
all, the Splattermax does seem rather an over-kill for a basic AGC
requirement.

The main part used at the time was a reasonably cheap, simple
(8 pin) Plessey chip. I believe that chip may now be obsolete,
but I could check.

Also, some FM detector ICs have a DC volume control. Feedback
to this may achieve the desired effect.


The alert tones are loud as **** and the dispatchers sometimes
whisper,

Maybe someone could make a similar device for Christmas, when
the family get together. The high compression of the SplatterMax
may just about compensate for the Mother-in-law's big mouth.

Still, it's only twice a year... once when she stops by at Christmas
and again when shy passes by at Halloween.

Peter.
