Just a tip....when making adjustments to either the RX or TX EQ, if you want
to reset them to 0 dB, press the CLR button normally used for RIT control.
It will reset all the EQ settings to 0 dB and you can start from scratch.

I couldn't possibly tell you if my K3s SSB was punchy etc. I don't have
enough operating experience (4 yrs operating, with just an FT-857 before the
K3, what a great radio for an inexperienced op).

I can tell you everyone who hears it, says it is GREAT audio and better than
the K2, normally they say best they have ever heard. And I haven't even
tried using the Tx equaliser yet.

I will also say that my operating had tailed off over the last year,
conditions down,  high noise floor at this QTH we not encouraging and FT-857
is not an ideal base rig - too many menus and 'hold this, push that, turn
this and push that again'.

The K3 changed all that, turned me around if you like and I'm getting back
into the spirit.
