Hi Geoff, I would suggest if your making a mini-module let it be a
speech compression device, not a clipper. Compression increases average
power used and sounds louder. If set too high it sounds odd and can create
clipping that generates unwanted sidebands.
On my radio I run compression all the time. It works in conjunction
with the Automatic Linearity Control the radio has. If you don't have ALC
it is harder to set the Compression.

Hi Karl. A moot point!! I'll have to get back to you later today as I must
get out to mow down the grass, mutating into elephant grass.
With my K2/100 I use the audio compressor and a 'flicker' of ALC, but RF
clipping and again a 'flicker' of ALC in the homebrew rig. One has to be
very careful not to use too much ALC - other problems can arise.
My apology for my haste, will reply later.
