[Elecraft] k3 with the w2ihy audio gear

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

It's good enough to make my terrible voice (for intelligibility - way, way,
way too soft on overtones) into a crisply intelligible voice that doesn't
sound like me at all.  I've been asked "Who's at the mike?"  Part of it is
the digital audio level processing algorithm, CMP on the front panel, that
comes with the equalizer.  It's not clipping, with the inherent distortion,
though some insist on calling it that.  Folks say it sounds clear and
undistorted at the settings I use.

CMP=20
TX50=-16
TX100=-16
TX200=-16
TX400=-8
TX800=+8
TX1600=+16
TX2400=+16
TX3200=-16

I had reports of distortion, but they were associated with a problem **in
the DC power supply** that accompanied higher power drain associated with
well-compressed audio.  (As always the admonition to avoid blaming the K3
first, because it usually isn't.)

I find that I get through stuff using my "K3 voice" barefoot.  Killer with
the 8410.

73, Guy.
