[Elecraft] K3 RX eq for CW

[drewko1 at verizon.net]

Yes, thanks to Steve. Fooling around with Rx eq I used his settings as
a starting point and adjusted as follows: 

I cut some of the higher bands as he did in order to reduce noise. But
not too much, in order to hear signals farther off freq I generally
use a pretty wide xfil to hear more of the adjacent signals. (There
aren't too many of them out there lately.)

I also boosted the low bands because they don't add much noise and
will make it easier to hear those who call far off-frequency on the
high side (i.e., lower tone). My sidetone is 600 Hz and I can hear
off-freq signals up to about 500 Hz lower in tone (higher on the
dial).

So RX equalization is most useful to those of us who like a wide CW
filter b/w. 

Yes, Bud, it would be very nice if the RX eq was mode specific.
