[Elecraft] K2 SSB TX audio question

[Eddy]

K2 serial number 3600+ using the Heil hand mic that Elecraft sells, also did the KI6WX wide-band mod years ago. When on LSB using the elecraft recommended settings of SSBA of 2-1 and SSBC of 2-1, I get lousy reports that there's too much base in my audio and hams find it hard to hear what I'm saying, but when I turn off compression I then get really good audio reports!


So, for the K2 wizards out there, as long as I leave the compressor off, my hams friends are happy.......so, I'm wondering why turning on compression increases the base response and if there's a way to improve audio when using SSBC 2-1? I've used Spectrogram to slightly adjust audio filter bandpass but doesn't do much.

As always, thanks for everyone's help!
