[Elecraft] [K3] transmit equalizer settings

[John Fritze]

Dear Group,

I have checked out N1EU's site regarding tweeking the settings of the K3.  I
am very impressed with the way the received audio is now by injecting a bit
of the pink noise in the background.  Makes listening for long periods very
pleasant.  I love the way my voice sounds on the transmitted audio for rag
chewing, very natural sounding.  I have received several unsolicited coments
about my audio.

What I would like to know is: does anyone have some basic settings to start
with for transmitting during a contest?  I tend to like a little sharper or
tighter sound with more highs and less lows to break through a pile up.  For
example, higher pitched phonetics like "Canada" and "radio" tend to punch
through a lot of QRM better than "Charlie" and "Romeo" even though those are
the excepted international phonetics.  I would tailor those settings for my
voice, just need a starting point.

The second question would be:  Is there a way to save one set of equalizer
settings for rag chewing and a second set for pile up busting or contesting
so I would only need to push one or two buttons (quick change)?  Not sure if
the macros would do this, I haven't played with that yet.

If not, this might be a good software addition for down the road.  I tend to
move up and down and change bands a lot.  Sometimes I come across a pile up
I would like to give a try, so a quick change between 2 or more equalizer
settings might help.  Hey, you never know what the guy on the other end
hears.
