[Elecraft] K3 EQ settings?

[Fred Jensen]

I got mine from Jim, K9YC, a retired audio professional designer and 
consultant in large venues.  They are:

1 -14
2 -10
3 -6
4 -2
5 0
6 +4
7 +6
8 +10

I don't frequent phone much but when I do [like in an NAQP SSB or SS], I 
usually get one or two "great audio" comments.  While most of that is 
undoubtedly due to superior DNA, I think the K3 TX EQ has something to 
do with it. [:-)  Close-talking some mics tends to boost the lows too, 
sometimes significantly.

Jim points out that there is no value to power in the low frequencies, 
they carry almost no information.  Watching the P3 waterfall with a 
narrow span demonstrates dramatically how many SSB signals have all the 
power in the lows, crammed up against the suppressed carrier, and next 
to nothing out where it would be beneficial.
