The K3 has sufficient equalization to tailor the sound of any microphone, the external equalizer is completely unneeded in my opinion. My cheap-o computer gaming headset sounds really good (through the monitor) and gets great reports on the air. When chasing DX or during a contest I'll turn the compression up to 25. I've heard my signal through a couple of different radios that have their output online. The audio is surprisingly good. Setting the compression that high really makes a huge difference in average output and it makes a big difference on the other end. Rob NV5E
