I second the suggestion that RX EQ be separate for left and right sides. Almost a year ago I was diagnosed with a severe hearing problem on the L ear only, where some high freqencies are exaggerated but the normal speech frequency range is severely attenuated. When people speak into my L ear, I typically can't understand what they say, even if the volume is fine. I am so far resisting hearing aids, as my R side hearing is fine. I am thinking about ditching my SO2R setup, at least for voice purposes. Now, if only the new separate L and R EQ would become available also for the K3..... 73, Erik K7TV

Differing hearing loss between ears is quite common, which suggests that it could be useful for the new K4 to incorporate the ability to EQ left and right headphone channels separately! I've often recommended to ham friends with hearing loss to use the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3 to compensate by massive cut of low audio frequencies and massive boost the the top bands, and guys have told me that it helps a lot. Wayne, are you listening? 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 ebasil...@cox.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
