[Elecraft] a wish for a balance control

[KBG Luxford]

I think that there was a QST article some years ago regarding an audio 
filter/equaliser tailored to match one's hearing loss profile.  The 
author claimed that it enabled him to hear his radio much more clearly.

My hearing is largely deficient in the higher frequencies due to army 
weapons training in my youth and no doubt exacerbated by subsequent 
industrial noise.  This is likely to be a problem that affects a good 
proportion of list members.  Loss of the higher frequencies means that 
we miss the word endings which convey a high proportion of the 
intelligence we are trying to receive.  Maybe, just maybe, the want of 
'good' audio on K3s is due to a wish to be able to hear more clearly?  
Maybe the article in QST to which I am referring would be a good way to go.

I will see if I can find it and post the details to the list.
