Scott... good question. The answer is yes... but with some conditions.
My feeling is that you were looking to disconnect the scanners
speaker... and insert such a device between that connection and the
speaker. I hope that is a correct assumption. The problem is that the
VoiceMax module has been designed to drive an impedance of around 1K
or higher. So in order to use VoiceMax in that application... you
would have to add perhaps a small audio amplifier (op-amp or single
transistor) connected right after VoiceMax to drive your lower
impedance speaker load. Hope that helps.

Actually, I would tap into the volume control by cutting traces.
I intend to work with the line-level signals.

Scott,
OK... that's better yet. Then the only thing that would be considered
is the level of that "line" signal. VoiceMax is designed to work with
input signals between 50-300mV (a typical dynamic mic output level).
VoiceMax output can be adjusted to rock-solid limit at levels between
100-500mV. That would mean that if the output was adjusted to say
200mV... that any input signal (above the adjusted noise gate
threshold) would be rock-solid at 200mV with less than 1% THD.

Brian. Put it in a box that can be powered up with a 9V battery. Use a standard
Cobra 4 pin, in and out. You'll sell a ****load more of these.

Vinny, that may be your idea of a speech processor... but it's not
ours. We went through great pains to design a tiny module that would
fit inside any radio... and become totally transparent to the user.
You see... for a speech processor to be effective, it must be
individually set up with the radio that it will be used on. This
almost always requires some internal radio adjustments by a competent
technician. With an external processor just hung on a radio... it's
almost guaranteed that you will not be getting the full potential out
of the processor. A set-up like that may even have a negative impact
on performance. As far as selling a "**** load" more as you put it. We
are not concerned with quanity... however, we are concerned with
performance & quality. The technically advanced people we sell these
units to... certainly understand this.

He's been told that many times. Giffey would rather insult CB.

Business model 101 for telstar-electronics/turn signals/amps/modulators/
seems to be.

All items discontinued.



He forcasted 30 per month, has been selling about 3 per month on ebay. And it
has nothing to do with technically people. I can easily install one, but I am
not cutting traces in a good radio. I hate that.

Cutting one trace on radio is easily reversable. Many times it's not
even necessary as there are wires that connect from the mic jack to
the PC board. As for sales... as the word gets out... sales are
steadily increasing. But I'm not sure why you're concerned about that
since you receive nothing from each sale... LOL

To my surprise, international sales have been very strong. Actually,
if the current trend continues, there will be be more VoiceMax modules
operating in foreign countries than here in the US. Many of these
sales are being generated from the web site... not ebay.

Voicemax might sell more product if he didn't have such a hard-on for
CBer's.

Oh well, who gives a flying **** anyway?
