KX3, K3, K3S CW / SSB and Audio EQ

[Doug Ellmore Sr.]

I tend to use 500 hz cw tone because it is easy to setup other apps with
that.

Also, one of the tricks I use for less noise is setting the RX EQ with
everything to lowest setting EXCEPT 400 hz.  I set 400hz +1.

Try it, you might like it.

For SSB the RX EQ  audio is flat.  I then set TX EQ audio with everything
below 400 hz at -3, 400 hz flat, then everything above 400 hz +8 or
greater.  Your audio will punch through pileups.  Mic gain using Heil or
Elecraft mics are set to high bias with mic gain at 27 +/-3 and compression
26+/-3 watching the ALC to 4-5 bars.

For AM and FM audio is set flat.  I play with AM some depending on Heil
mics used.

I get great audio reports all over the world.
