Dick, You use "some compression"? Crank it up!
Dump the external EQ, and use either the HC-4 or HC-5 (no bias) and crank the TX EQ bands up or down until it sounds nasty enough. You'll generally reduce the lows and increase the highs. Crank up the compression and it'll sound as bad as the Yaesu does. Your fellow contester's claim reveals his lack of knowledge about the K3 as it can be adjusted to sound any way you want, with nearly any microphone. Generally speaking, if it doesn't sound right, crank it up. 73, Bob W5OV P.S. I know that audio purists will not like the above advice. But, you are looking to bust pileups, not get an audio quality award. > I need some advice in how to get the same punch my fellow contester gets > on > his FT-1000MP.
