You appear very confused over the technical terms you are using. The
misleading description doesn't fool anyone that works with radio.
The only thing that will increase range is more power or a better aerial
and/or location. You will find that the oscilloscope required to correctly
set this device with each radio would be put to better use setting the radio
without it in the first place.
Why do CBers still insist on having overdeviated signals claiming that range
will be increased? It causes a lot of splattering and most other radios
with narrow filtering will simply cut the signal thinking it is "bleedover"
as you call it.
On AM your radio will still clip the signal as it will on SSB if this extra
compressor is set incorrectly.

The only thing to do would be to modify the radio completely and remove the
TX audio conditioning circuits and replace them with this board.

I would say it's not required, certainly not in a modern radio. It will
decrease performance.

Hello Rob:

Wow what a bunch of negative vibs.

You bet it will increase distance, so will a linear amplifier, and a
better and higher antenna. As for the overmodulated signals, sure I hear
all the time, even on the lower bands. Shouldn't be a biggie.

We use to put a Diwa 440 speech processor on our CB Rigs, years ago. And
they worked great on AM and SSB, way more on SSB of course. You could
cut thru the skip with the processor on, and we didn't use no
oscillioscope. But there was some honking linears out there tho.

A well designed (probably something telstar can't do) and properly
adjusted speech processor can boost the average signal some, but most
of the claims made are just hype. Most, if not all cbers will simply
crank the gain wide open because it makes the meter "swang" more so
they think they are getting a bigger signal, and I doubt they have a
clue as to what an oscilloscope is much less how to use one.
