K3 - RX Equalizer

[k6dgw]

I'm running FW 3.03 right now [just haven't gotten around to upgrading].
  Possibly I'm missing something, but my RX Eq settings persist across
mode changes.  Is there a way to have separate settings for CW and SSB?
  I'm fairly deaf, the result of very loud noises in my 20's, and the RX
Eq actually makes SSB semi-usable for me.  I set the lower ranges to
negative values and the higher bands to positive values, sort of
mimicking what my hearing aids do.  The 32 dB [-16 to +16] isn't enough
... I need about 75dB at 2 KHz ... but it's better than nothing.

For CW, I set all but the range that covers my sidetone to -16 and that
one range to +16.  Unfortunately, I have to reset it each time when I
change modes.

I sugggest you not do this.  For CW, you can either set the Rx EQ flat,
or leave it as you have it set for SSB.  it wont; offe ryou any better
selectivity. Use the SHIFt and WIDTH controls to set the selectivity
instead.
