[Elecraft] K3S TX Noise Gate

[Walter Underwood]

A while ago, I collected and graphed all the TX EQ settings posted to this list. Some were pretty wild, but a few experienced ops all agreed on big cuts to the low frequencies and an optional small boost on the upper end.

Those are collected in this blog post. It says “KX3”, but the TX EQ advice was actually from K3 users.

Here is the original data. See “Chart All” to compare everyone. Hmm, maybe I’ll add yours. In my copious free time.
