[Elecraft] K3 EQ settings

Flat.

The primary purpose of the receive equalizer is to compensate for uneven 
frequency response in the receiver speakers, headphones, or listener's ears.

It does not add additional selectivity.

Also, I suggest if you are using it in CW that you leave the response at 
or near your preferred sidetone pitch at 0 dB and do whatever 
compensation you need relative to that setting.  The reason is that at 
very narrow selectivity settings (50 Hz and 100 Hz) the receiver 
equalizer is not active.  If you are using the receiver equalizer to 
provide some sort of peak at your chosen pitch, you will experience a 
drop in overall gain when the equalizer is bypassed at these narrow 
selectivity width settings.
