Alan, I use a Heil Pro Set Plus HC4 element and the DX/Contest EQ setting on the console. Stateside stations have told me it sounds great for DX with good punch. And it works. I got Randy V73RY in the Marshall Islands on 20 SSB during his last hour of operation before he left for the mainland. I use the 5000A barefoot to a 40 mtr Carolina Windom up 25 feet.
Now this all depends on your voice, but as others are saying, you do not need to go to great lengths of EQ to get very usable performance from the 5000A. On the other hand, people who use Flexradios do tend to enjoy trying to make the perfect better! Have fun.
