[Elecraft] The RIGHT way is to adjust COMP

[Jim Brown]

Right. But FIRST set TXEQ to max cut for the first three bands, 6 dB cut 
on the 4th band, 3 dB boost on 2.4 kHz, 6 dB boost the top band (3.2 
kHz). Then set COMP as Bob described. The TXEQ settings prevent wasting 
transmitter power with speech components that don't contribute to speech 
intelligibility. This was learned by AT%T Bell Labs nearly a century ago.
