Joe alluded to it in his second paragraph, "experimenting." Go slowly and in small increments.* You need time to try out a new setting in varying conditions, and our brains need some time to adapt to the new sounds. I was getting nowhere with it, often changing settings in the middle of a QSO and getting frustrated. Jim, K9YC, finally told me to slow down, make a small change, try it out for a few days or a week. I started to see improvement, and ended up with my CW and SSB settings after maybe a month or so. The RX EQ really does do good things, you just can't go to the right settings for you in the first 5 minutes.
