[Elecraft] W2IHY 8 band equalizer and EQ Plus

[Lance Collister]

Hello Ron,

I use a W2IHY 2 band equalizer and noise gate with my K3 and am VERY PLEASED with 
the performance.  I highly recommend it!

I don't use it for trying to customize my transmit audio fidelity or anything - I 
think you could do that very successfully with the K3 adjustments, if you wanted 
to.  As a point in fact, I have never changed my K3 audio output settings at all.

The reason I use the W2IHY unit is for the excellent noise gate that it provides. 
  It very effectively cuts out the background blower noise, and I get excellent on 
the air reports with it.  When I acquired my K3, I tried to use the noise gate 
built into the K3 so I could keep the W2IHY unit connected to my old IC746. 
However, I could not seem to adjust the K3 noise gate to avoid getting reports of 
audio distortion :-(  So, reluctantly, I had to disable the noise gate in the K3 
and return to the external W2IHY unit.

Best wishes for success!  GL and VY 73, Lance
