[AMRadio] Speech Processing

[Rob Atkinson]

Can't speak for everyone but my interest is pretty much in the older
analog boxes because they don't cost as much and I can sort of
understand them if I have a schematic.   Anything that requires a
computer or is DSP and I'm out.  some of the older processors have
potted modules though.  Secret unobtainium circuits.  I guess a few
guys can afford the new gear but when you get over a few hundred bucks
I start thinking about more important expenses like antennas.

thanks for link to ur web page.  skimmed the papers there but not
enough free time to wade through 17 pages.  got to leave that to
retired guys, hi.  looks real interesting though.  suggest you provide
abstracts at beginning of papers.
