Edward, My last hearing test, I asked for and received a copy of my hearing results. I used to listen to CW at 650 Hz., and noticed that my speed was slowing down as my hearing got worse over time. I noted a big dip in my hearing response at 600 Hz. from the results of the hearing test. I then changed the spot frequency from 650 to 540, which is not nearly as depressed, I copy CW MUCH faster as a result of that change. I in essence, have used the K3 EQ to adjust for my hearing deficiencies, producing something much flatter between 300 to 3000 Hz. than I would be hearing without the EQ. Over all this has really helped both my CW and SSB receive ability. -- 73's, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) For software/hardware reviews see: http://www.nk7z.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
