Hello Ron,

I use a W2IHY 2 band equalizer and noise gate with my K3 and am VERY PLEASED with
the performance.  I highly recommend it!

I don't use it for trying to customize my transmit audio fidelity or anything - I
think you could do that very successfully with the K3 adjustments, if you wanted
to.  As a point in fact, I have never changed my K3 audio output settings at all.

The reason I use the W2IHY unit is for the excellent noise gate that it provides.
  It very effectively cuts out the background blower noise, and I get excellent on
the air reports with it.  When I acquired my K3, I tried to use the noise gate
built into the K3 so I could keep the W2IHY unit connected to my old IC746.
However, I could not seem to adjust the K3 noise gate to avoid getting reports of
audio distortion :-(  So, reluctantly, I had to disable the noise gate in the K3
and return to the external W2IHY unit.

Best wishes for success!  GL and VY 73, Lance
