Most rigs today utilize (with the push of a button or switch) speech processing. Unfortunately, many who use processing DO NOT have the processor adjusted properly. I believe that WA2MOE is referring to those who use much too much processing...Creating a signal which can be heard but more often unintelligible. They generate pure filth.
There are also individual who try to emulate A.M. with their rigs by using audio equipment between their very expensive microphones and the rig or changing the pass of the SSB signal through the rig's filters. Of course their signals become very broad, everyone sounds the same and the clarity of their signals through QRM/QRN is unintelligible. If you want to ruin the hobby for others...This is the way to do it. With Bandwidth hungry audio.
A D1Ø4 (unamplified), Shure 444 or similar type microphone will do the job with any piece of Drake Equipment...Even the TR7. However, they will never pass the 14.178 mHz standards.
The name of the game is communicate...Have a clean clear signal.

Hi,
I was surprised when I read so many opinions that agree with mine. Turn
that blankity blank processor off. It sounds horrible. Just sit back and
let that mellow Drake sound make everyone that hears you wonder what you
know that Heil doesn't.
I've been using and listening to Drake's broadcast quality signals for years and I have to agree but with one exception.
Dxing requires intelligent operating, good antennas and an amplified signal which can grab the attention of the DX station. And having listened to those rotten distorted signals in quite a few rare countries, they certainly got my attention.
I'd work them simply to get them out of the pileup.
