> saying the audio is sharp and narrow .

"Sharp and narrow" generally means too much high frequency (1600 - 3200
HZ) audio and not enough mid range (400 - 800 HZ) audio.

With my CM-500 I use the following two sets of TX EQ:

         Normal operation     "DX"/Contest Operation

   50          -16                 -16
  100          -16                 -16
  200          - 8                 - 8
  400            0                   0
  800            0                   0
 1600           +3                  +5
 2400           +5                  +8
 3200           +6                 +10

The "normal" EQ is very similar to a typical "communications" mic or
the old Heil HC5 (3 dB/octave HF "boost") while the "DX" EQ is very
similar to the Heil HC4 "DX" element (5 dB/octave HF "boost").  The
DX/Contest setting is a bit "sharp" and I would not use it every day

Elecrafters,
i'm preparing the clubstation for the CQ WW Contest. I get Audio-reports saying the audio is sharp and narrow . I would like to set the K3 for a good and readable audio. Would the Yamaha CM 500 users share their settings? Thanks.
