[Elecraft] [K3] Lack of audio punch

[Lyle Johnson]

Hello Barry!

> Any thoughts on how to improve the punch?

Different voices have different amplitude levels at the pitches that 
penetrate, so the appropriate settings are all a matter of testing and 
adjusting and testing again.

DVR audio is substituted in the path instead of mic audio.  So, sending 
a DVR message you can then adjust TX  EQ and CMP and hear the effect of 
the adjustments.

Using TX TEST mode, you can do this without radiating a signal or 
warming your dummy load.
