[Elecraft] K3 settings for Yamaha headset

"Sharp and narrow" generally means too much high frequency (1600 - 3200
HZ) audio and not enough mid range (400 - 800 HZ) audio.

With my CM-500 I use the following two sets of TX EQ:

          Normal operation     "DX"/Contest Operation

    50          -16                 -16
   100          -16                 -16
   200          - 8                 - 8
   400            0                   0
   800            0                   0
  1600           +3                  +5
  2400           +5                  +8
  3200           +6                 +10

The "normal" EQ is very similar to a typical "communications" mic or
the old Heil HC5 (3 dB/octave HF "boost") while the "DX" EQ is very
similar to the Heil HC4 "DX" element (5 dB/octave HF "boost").  The
DX/Contest setting is a bit "sharp" and I would not use it every day
