Hi Mark,

I plug an rca book shelf speaker into my mobile clearspeech. A big three way 
Pioneer with 8 inch woofer was even better. The speaker in the clearspeech 
just doesn't cut it.
        Gap and SGC also offer dsp speakers but I haven't talked to anyone 
that is using them.
      The sound of the 756pro nr sounds like an old MFJ dsp box I had. It 
gets quiet but is very hollow. I've been thinking about how to describe it  
- maybe someone talking to you from the bottom of the Grand Canyon ?
      There is quite a bit of free dsp available to guys with a computer in 
the shack. I think some of it would be worth trying.
      Speaking of Heil's stuff, has anyone tried a PR40 mic on an Icom?

Howdy ..
I chatted with Bob Heil about the speaker .. production is being transferred
to another mid-west company, as Heil's foray into the broadcast field has
met with spectacular success, and resources are being devoted in that
direction. ..  FYI, HRO has Heil's available.
I am using a Clearspeech... with speaker version .. here, with my IC-736 --
and lovin' it!  I actually plug my SP-2Ø into the HP out of the Clearspeech,
using that rather than the speaker in the I had ordered a new Heil, but it
was back-ordered and I was in a hurry.  Heil had an issue with a "tinny"
sound, seems like they had a wrongo speaker impedance on the first released
pieces, but was "fixed".   Hmm .. shoulda asked Bob about that.  I tried a
"base" type, too .. both same results .. The nice thing about paying so much
for one, if you don't like it after you got it, you can sell it quite
readily and get your money back (at least most of it, or .. make a
profit!) --- Now to try it mobile, on my IC-7Ø6MKIIG --
What's inside?   http://www.ad5th.com/HEIL_CLEAR_SPEECH_SPEAKER.html
Has anybody got input about the English designed GAP "Hear It" ??   And ..
wonder why ICOM does not offer a speaker with the technology within?
As long as on  subject,  has anyone found a good replacement speaker for the
sorry one in the SP-2Ø?  On my "to-do list" .. HIHI
