[Elecraft] K3 Recommendations for Receiver Audio Equalisation

I wonder if there any recommendations for the initial settings to try for both the CW and SSB modes in the K3 ? 73 de Ray G3XLG __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.n

Hi Ray, You should be aware of something that affects CW RX Equalization. On very narrow DSP widths the RX EQ is turned off. I believe it turns on at 150Hz and wider and it is off for 50 and 100Hz. Because of this, you never want to set any of the equalization values to a positive DB on CW. Only u

For SSB I set the lowest two bands to -16 and set the two highest bands for -2 (2.4) and -3 (3.6). This gets rid of LF trash and takes the edge off of the hiss. I'm currently experimenting with the lowest two at -16, the next two flat, 1600 at +3, 2400 at -3 and 3600 at -6 to provide some boost

Joe alluded to it in his second paragraph, "experimenting." Go slowly and in small increments.* You need time to try out a new setting in varying conditions, and our brains need some time to adapt to the new sounds. I was getting nowhere with it, often changing settings in the middle of a QS
