[Elecraft] K3 Equalizer comment

[Richard Fjeld]

Yes, I have a narrow span like that programmed into one of the P3 
buttons for quick selection. His audio was centered around 500-600 Hz.  
Several guys with pan adapters ultimately tried to help him.  I signed 
off and let them work with him.  I heard him the next day and his audio 
was better but still room for improvement. Everyone had been giving him 
bad audio reports and he sounded choked up with disappointment. It is a 
new radio.  Enuf said about that.  We have it good.

Dick, n0ce
