The FT-817 FT-818 is a great radio but the SSB speech power does lack "punch". This great little external AF dynamic compressor will aid readability and maximise the performance of your radio (essential when using QRP). Speech Compressors work by raising the average level of your audio signal, giving greater "talk power".
Plug and Play! Connects between the radio and microphone (lead included). The compressor function can be switched in or out, the module draws its power directly from the transceiver (approx. 10mA). The compression level is adjustable. Modifications to the microphone or transceiver are not required.
The compressor is also suitable for use with the FT-900, FT-857, FT-897 and FT-450 (all versions)
