[Elecraft] K3 Audio

[Don Wilhelm]

Are you using the WIDTH and SHIFT on SSB?
I would suggest that you will find better success using HI CUT and LO 
CUT for SSB.
The voice audio needs some information in the 300 to 400 Hz region for 
clarity, so the LO CUT must be set in the 200 to 400 Hz range to keep 
intelligibility.
The HI CUT can be reduced to as much as 1500 Hz and still maintain 
intelligibility, but at such extremes, the characteristics of the voice 
will be lost.  It is best if the HI CUT is placed at 2800 for good 
recognition of the voice.  Reduce that frequency if there is 
interference (QRM) on the high frequency side.

I spoke with another person who owns both radios and he finds the Kenwood audio crisper, less “mushy.”   My K3 is a great radio, but I’d sure like to hear better. Is there some adjustment I’m missing?
