I'm in ham radio for fun. I'm not trying to capture the 17-30 year old
market, or the "Rush hour" drive time slot. I "just wanna have fun!" I use
the CM500, set TXEQ at -16, -16, -16 the rest at 'zero' and go. I just
can't tell the difference with the other settings. I get great audio
reports so I'm happy. I really think the because we can make all the
adjustments, we feel we have to fidget with it and make far more out of it
than it is worth. As long as you are understandable, what's the diff?

An alternative K3 headset in place of the Yamaha CM500, which appears to be
unobtainable in Europe, is the Koss SB45. I just bought one of these from an
internet supplier for 20 pounds (about $30) and it seems quite comfortable
and it does have an electret mic element, not a dynamic one. The 3.5mm jacks
plug directly into the rear panel Phones and Mic sockets. MAIN MENU: MIC SEL
is set for RPL with bias ON.
I have the MAIN MENU: TX EQ set for a rising characteristic
(0,0,0,+3,+6,+9,+12,+15dB) and it sounds just great in the monitor. However
on-air tests may show that a bass cut with flat characteristic
(-16,-16,-6,0dB the rest) per K9YC recommendation may be better.
