There are a half-dozen profiles included, but I found that it was easier and
quicker to set my own three or four. I have a few that auto select either a

Walter Cronkite or want the greatest punch through a pileup.
Sounding like Walter Cronkite is especially challenging for me. Thank heavens
for 10 band equalizers. Jim KJ2P
