If your backround noise in the shack is 10dB below your voice peaks, there IS a problem. Of course if it stays at an acceptable level. This is exactly why one should never use the mic gain control to lower the power output because of the unavoidable increase of the dynamic range of the transmitted signal, making it harder to receive.Ĭompression may be called distortion because it's a modification of some of the characteristics of a signal, but really it's not. If your voice has 50dB of dynamic range and your RF signal follows this curve perfectly, it's easy to understand that the guy who hears you only 10dB above noise will lose most of what you say.ĭynamic compression by ALC or other means is an indispensable process for SSB, it allows the information to be more tightly packed and more efficient in noisy environments. The reason between all this it that the natural human voice has a much wider dynamic range than the receiver signal to noise ratio of the guy you want to talk to. You have to have some ALC deflection, and it's ok if it goes within it's range on the voice peaks and even deflect somewhat on normal speech.
