On my modified K3, adjusting band 2 (100Hz) will produce bone-jarring bass
when boosted above +5 dB.
However, even though my moded K3 easily produces audible beats down to 30
Hz, adjusting Rx EQ band 1 (50 Hz) has no effe
There seems to be no consensus as to what the "hiss" or "noise" is. Therefore,
there is no consensus on how to fix it. This noise, whatever it is, is
something I can live with because I think the K3 is the best overall
transceiver I have owned to date.
Forget this noise thing. My main conce
You are right Jay. Bands 1 and 2 do nothing. There's nothing to reduce!

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Hi
After reading all the postings about audio, I tried a couple of different
ear sets. I set all but my equalizer to normal settings for SSB. My
equalizer I didn't touch until I tried to see the impact when I tried
different earbuds.
I do not have Heil pro's as I don't like the cover the ear device

I have tried to adjust the audio of the K3 to my liking.
Hi side of spectrum: To get rid of the higher freq's I set the RX-eq 8
to minus 8dB.
Lo side of the spectrum: I tried out the RX-eq 1 and 2. Absolutely no
difference! Not even with the lo cut set to zero.
RX-eq 3 (200Hz) responded better. Se

Is what you call "hissy" just a lack of bass? I think of "hissy" as high
pitched white noise, like wind blowing through a narrow pipe. Is that what
you hear? Adding low freq. audio won't reduce hiss at all but I do
the lack of bass gives us the perception
of a tinny, narrow sound, not hiss.

I concur with what has been said regarding the "hissy" audio. The receiver
audio seems to be on the mid-range to high frequency side without enough low
frequencies in the passband. Experiments with RX EQ apparently have not done
anything to eliminate this hiss, but maybe the firmware can be ad
