Ken;
The compressor uses a power detector to measure the power level and it then
uses that to set the audio gain. This results in no distortion of the audio
signal. It is possible to run digital modes such as PSK31 through the
compressor without adding any significant distortion to them.

Is the design of the K2's compressor so that even at
4:1, it's not too harsh? I've been using 2:1 for normal
ops and 4:1 for difficult contacts. My mic is an old CB
"Cobra" hand mic (600 ohm). I also have a headset mic
salvaged from a cell phone (2.2k). I don't use that one
much.
