[Elecraft] help with improving transmit eq

[Fred Jensen]

I'm thoroughly convinced that I'm as bright as I'm ever gonna get. :-)

I followed Jim's advice for both RX and TX EQ after wasting a whole 
bunch of time trying to figure it out myself [see first sentence above]. 
  I use a Heil Proset with the iC element from Elecraft, and in rare 
forays into the phone bands, I invariably get unsolicited "great audio" 
reports.

Another piece of advice from him:  When messing around with things like 
TX and RX EQ or AGC <mumble> that have multiple possible settings, go 
very slow ... one change at a time followed by some OT&E [Milspeak for 
Operational Test and Evaluation].  Some of the effects of the changes 
can be very subtle [see first sentence above].
