[Elecraft] K3 EQ settings?

[Jim Brown]

Not quite what I recommend.  My "starting point for typical ham mics 
like the Yamaha CM500 headset is:

Bands 1, 2, and 3:  Maximum cut (-18)
Band 4:  -6
Bands 5, 6: 0
Band 7: +6
Band 8 +6

Set Mic Gain and CMP for indicated Gain Reduction of 10 dB on peaks.

Then, get signal reports from trained listeners who have their IF 
bandwidth set for 2.7-2.8 kHz.  These are settings for maximum audio 
"punch" to get through QRM and noise. They get rid of un-needed bass 
which makes no contribution to speech intelligibility and boosts highs a 
bit because they DO contribute a lot. Ignore reports that tell you that 
you lack bass -- you don't want it, because it wastes TX power.

These settings increase the effective voice power by about 13 dB 
(multiplying power by 20).
