Anyone know who made this speech compressor and maybe even what type
batteries it uses?
Thanks in advance,

Yes... I tend to agree... it sure looks like a Comdel speech processor (LMB
Box)---but I thought the Comdel name was on the front panel and had
different knobs... Check out the product review on the Comdel CPS-11 on the
ARRL website (I am not a member so I can't download it).
The Comdel was an exceedingly effective processor. It might be called an RF
speech processor (that's what Comdel claimed) since it took the mic audio,
convert it to an RF signal, process it, then demodulated it---output was
again an audio frequency.
A buddy WA9ZPR (where is he now) back in the late 1970's used one. That's
how I got to know him (we became ham buddies and had many skeds)... he was
on 20 meters as the band was about to go out demonstrating it to another ham
as I was listening. He would go from complete no copy to solid copy as he
would switch the device in and out.
