It's personal taste, your headphones/speakers, and state of your
hearing. My hearing is pretty bad and my hearing aids don't work under
headphones [I never use speakers].
CW: Don't boost anything over 0 dB, RX EQ goes away at very narrow DSP
BW settings ... don't remember exactly where. You can reduce ranges
above and below your pitch level to remove noise, although I've never
been very successful at that.
SSB: On advice from Jim, K9YC, I set the profile to approximate the
shape of my hearing aids [inverse of my audiogram]. You can get +/- 16
dB, but if you lower the bands where your hearing is good and raise them
where it is bad [usually the higher frequencies], you can effectively
get about a 30 dB total range. You'll have to run the AF gain higher to
compensate for the EQ reductions of course. 30 dB isn't even close to
what my hearing aids do, but it does help a lot.
Most importantly, follow Jim's advice and GO SLOWLY! I flailed around
changing the settings to no avail and finally gave up and left them
flat. When I went back and tried again following his advice, I changed
one setting at a time and put operating time in between changes, keeping
track of what I was doing in my station notebook. After awhile
[multiple days], I could tell I was improving the intelligibility of SSB
for my ears.

Good Evening,
I have been tinkering around with the RX EQ #'s for CW. Would anyone have any
good settings to recommend?
