Nay.

I have a Magnum 257 (mosfet, non-HP version) that sounded awful, no matter what mic I used on it, people complained of muddy, flat, bassy audio on SSB. I removed the CP-1 that it had in the radio and it fixed the issue.

A lot of the locals that have or have had Magnum radios always send them to me to get the CP-1 removed if they use the radio on SSB, because of the complaints of muddy audio. I think the CP-1 uses a little too much compression for SSB use.

Some people like the CP-1, especially for AM.

Just my .02, tho. :tongue:

~Cheers~
