Eric, I have the K3 and KX3 sounding pretty close in the headset on RX. (CM-500)
I have found that adjustment of the RX-EQ needs to be done first and then I set the Hi/Lo cut and I then went and rechecked my RX-EQ settings to be sure I had the best audio for me. By doing it this way I now rarely find the need to adjust my Hi/Lo cut again unless the band is acting dramatically different to when I did my set up or a station has moved close to the frequency I am operating on and I still need to work the frequency I have been on. Obviously I have no need to alter my RX-EQ settings now that I have them set. My ears are not good, the internal speaker on both rigs don't work well for me. Tinnitus IS an issue that I can't get rid off short of decapitation...:-) As I don't hear the lows very well, I have changed the RX-EQ to improve the audio quality and I check that against the Hi/Lo settings I prefer so that now I rarely have a need to change them. Tuning up and down the band for me now is pretty easy with respect to hearing a 'pleasant' tone of voice. YMMV of course and my opinion must be taken as purely subjective and I hope you don't have to deal with the difficulties I have to deal with on a daily basis. 73 Gary On 5 February 2013 16:07, Erik Basilier <[email protected]> wrote: > At Field Day I have observed a number of operators operating SSB.
