I don't even run the processor on my radios other than Icoms then I find 
it's needed but I actually set it up with a second receiver usually and make 
it so you can't even tell it's on, then ask someone to check it for me to 
see what it sounds like on the air, I don't overdrive it, often people are 
shocked when they find out I have it on. I never run it on anything but icom 
radios though.
