Geoff and all, Currently, there is no way to bypass the equalization for the DVR. When you record someone's off-the-air signal, it passes through your RX EQ settings, and then when you play it back, it goes through your TX EQ settings - so the audio gets hit with the double whammy of both RX EQ

Superhet versus direct-to-baseband: In-band IMD is one issue. Perhaps an even more important one is the non-linear group delay caused by the crystal filters. Unlike other SDRs, the KX3 does have a roofing filter at baseband but I expect it should have flatter group delay than a crystal filter.
