I used a number of external speech processors with mobile radios to increase their punch. My design (2 x 9 Mhz filters), design by DF4ZS and and old one by MFJ. It was hard to get good boosts because an extrnal processor is outside the ALC loop creating extra distortions and filters in many processors (including DF4ZS) are poor. 715 uses 2 inexpensive ceramic filters with a BW of 4 Khz. K3 with its processor + an equalizer is a killer DX machine. Just crank it up.
