There is a difference?among clippers, limiters, processors, and compressors.? In general, unless the device is properly designed (such as the Drake speech processor, the DX Engineering processor, etc.) it will result in distortion, excessive bandwidth, and other undesirable attributes.? Too, there are differences in effectiveness based upon whether an rf or af speech processor is used.? It is often easy to spot the good ones from the bad ones during a pileup on a DX station or during contests.
