I agree completely. It depends on what one means by "processing". I think most people end up doing to much. I do believe that two specific types of processing are generally good, regardless of radio or microphone, and in the order I've described them. The first is a noise gate (downward expander). A good noise gate can really help keep your amp fan noise, the dog barking downstairs and other miscellany off the air. But not too aggressive, or it will make you sound choppy. The second is just a wee bit of compression (note I'm talking about audio compression and not RF processing). Again it's something that needs to be under done rather than over done, because too much audio compression will take all the dynamic out of your voice and doesn't sound good. But lightly done, it isn't obvious to the listener and will assist in keeping a reasonably constant audio level into the radio as your mouth to mic distance changes.
