Hello Ron, I use a W2IHY 2 band equalizer and noise gate with my K3 and am VERY PLEASED with the performance. I highly recommend it!
I don't use it for trying to customize my transmit audio fidelity or anything - I think you could do that very successfully with the K3 adjustments, if you wanted to. As a point in fact, I have never changed my K3 audio output settings at all. The reason I use the W2IHY unit is for the excellent noise gate that it provides. It very effectively cuts out the background blower noise, and I get excellent on the air reports with it. When I acquired my K3, I tried to use the noise gate built into the K3 so I could keep the W2IHY unit connected to my old IC746. However, I could not seem to adjust the K3 noise gate to avoid getting reports of audio distortion :-( So, reluctantly, I had to disable the noise gate in the K3 and return to the external W2IHY unit. Best wishes for success!
