What's the advantage to "compression" in a C.B. rig? "The Bootlegger" There are two advantages 100 percent modulation is absolutely required by the FCC When you have 100 percent modulation, you automatically get built-in compression, or "talk power boosting" The modulation is set to limit on an "average" voice level If you raise your voice, the limiter squashes the peak signal down to 100 percent modulation while the lower voice level and sounds are amplified The overall effect is exactly that of a compressor the average voice power is increased and the lower sounds are automatically amplified Therefore it <1> delivers a cleaner modulation and 42) it reduces the possibility of ad­ jacent channel interference All 40-Channel C B rigs must have this limiter l>ear Gopher.
