Wow. I can't even imagine working 1532 contacts in 24 hours. If, in fact, you
stayed awake for 24 hours straight, that would have meant you maintained a 64 Q
per hour rate for the duration. That's an incredible run for *any* contest.
Congratulations, sir!
Yeah, I let my frustration out on the

Jim, K9YC, pointed out the work AT7T labs did to improve intelligibility
over the phone lines. Fletcher & Munson did quite a bit of research into
this for the military for the same reason. Interesting reads.
Setting your radio RX EQ to reflect this would be a good start, if you
can.

Richard,
If ergonomics is an issue for your "on-the-fly" RX equalizer use, why don't
you try button macros to make the equalizers easier to bring up for
adjustment? If you have a K-Pod, you could program a couple of its buttons
as well.
Maybe you can spend that saved $200-300 on
Wayne,
I suspect that after the software becomes more stable, and more folks
use the K4, it will replace the K3 for DX operations... The question
now becomes, will it fit in a RIB setup. DX is changing...

I used a kx1, operating FD with emergency power (batteries internal to kx1). I
used two sets of batteries.
The maximum output was 1.5 watts but after 2.5 hours of operating power output
dropped to .5 watts. So, I used another set of fresh batteries to operate a
total of 5.5 hours. I made 70
Regarding "quick on the fly adjustments", I don't view an 8 band EQ as
one that would have quick on the fly adjustments.
Depending on your choice of sidetone frequency, the selection of RX EQ
frequency and amount of attenuate and boost would seem adequate. I
agree with what Jim, K9YC, says
Thanks for your comments, Eric.
Note that the K4 shares the same pedigree, and weighs only 2 pounds more, for
the same reasons.

I know it's OT, but want to comment on FD operation here in NC.
I wouldn't even consider going on SSB for FD!But our SSB station on 40/15 made
over 700 QSO, with several ops of modest experience but sensible people. K3
and double bazooka. They were pleased.
I made almost 400 CW QSOs, K3 and
Parametric EQs are much less flexible than a graphical.
When it comes to graphical, the RX EQ built into the K3
is much better suited to the job at hand than most of
the small 6/7/8 band consumer products that generally
have "bands" up to 20 or 40 KHz that are wasted for
our purposes.

I understand the desire for an 8 band eq. These seem to have fallen by the
wayside except for some dedicated stereo rack mounted stuff. Parametric eq
is available on most small 4-8ch mixer/mic pre units like my little

Here's a receive equalizer:
