[Elecraft] W2IHY 8 band equalizer and EQ Plus

[Don Wilhelm]

Guy,

You are absolutely right.  While much of the pro-audio equipment is 
going digital to be able to more precisely control parameters without 
the expensive of many analog stages, we are seeing requests for adding 
an analog front end to the K3 digital audio processing as though that 
would accomplish some sort of magic.
By the same reasoning, we might obtain improvement to our analog solid 
state transceivers by adding some front end vacuum tube gear! :-)

73,
Don W3FPR
