[Elecraft] K3s Receive EQ

[Jim Brown]

I strongly agree with Joe. Both of us have broadcast experience, after 
that, I spent most of my life in pro audio. And I've been a ham for 67 
years. Not to be interpreted as set in my ways -- far from it, I was an 
early adopter of WSJT modes about 10 years ago. My only minor difference 
with Joe is that I'd also do max cut at 200 Hz for SSB and 6 dB cut of 
400 Hz. Agree, no more than 3-6 dB boost of the top two bands.
