[Elecraft] W2IHY 8 band equalizer and EQ Plus

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I too agree with Jim on this point.  Myself, being a retired pro audio guy 
and used lots of microphones and EQ's and processors, I've not seen the need 
for EQ on any current production or model ham radios.  Take something made 
back in the 50's or 60's  or 70's and they likley could stand some help. 
Even today should one use a lousy mike on a new radio and then add 
compression, gating and EQ and you'll have a lousy sounding signal with lots 
of compression, gating and EQ.  No amount of EQ will make the average hams' 
voice sound like Don Pardo.

Microphone and microphone technique is the real secret to good sounding 
audio.  Of course one must have the radio adjusted properly and thus not 
"all knobs to the right" to make the meter move higher.
