Hear-Clear is a noise reduction system that consists of Companding and Random FM Noise Canceller.
Companding
Reduces the channel noise, such as OTA transmission that is predominantly present in UHF2 and
900 MHz channel with the following features:
Compressor
Reduces the background noise flow and the speech signal at transmitting radio.
Expander
Expands the speech while the noise flow remains the same at receiving radio.
Random FM Noise Canceller (Flutter Fighter)
Reduces the unwanted effects of random FM noise pulses caused by channel fading under high
Signal-to-Noise (S/N) conditions such as in a moving transportation. The fading effects, heard as
