[Elecraft] K3 EQ settings?

[Mike Markowski]

Congrats on the DNA, Skip.  :-)  And thanks for the EQ info.  With info 
sent to me off-list by a few as well on your info on-list, I see 
variations by Jim k9yc and Bob Heil k9eid, likely due I assume to 
different mics & on-air advice for different op voices - unique for each 
environment.

Tnx es 73,
