complete the following questionnaire. Thanks for your help in
developing this new product!

Background:
Two-way CB radio communication relies on the voice modulation content
contained on the signal. Maintaining a high modulation level is crucial
in providing the highest possible transmitting distance from any
transmitter operating on AM, FM, and SSB. Current CB radios normally
rely on microphones that inherently change audio levels inputted to the
transmitter. This causes transmitter modulation to fluctuate greatly
depending on voice level. This audio fluctuation lowers overall
modulation levels applied to the transmitter, resulting in less than
optimum transmission range.

Product Description:
A module that can be fitted to CB radios that provides dynamic speech
compression, limiting, and low-level background noise attenuation on
transmit. The speech compression will provide a constant high level of
modulation to transmitted signals, independent of voice level.

Importance of adjustable audio compression (1-5)5
Importance of compatibility with condenser type microphones (1-5)5
Importance of compatibility with crystal type microphones (1-5)1

Importance of ease of installation (1-5)4
Importance of ability to install processor without professional help
(1-5)5
Importance of comprehensive installation instructions (1-5)5


Thank you for your response. Your input will allow us to develop the
best possible blend of performance and features for this new product.
