Or ... maybe not. Copying SSB on a speaker is nearly impossible for me,
and CW is hard. Unfortunately, my aids do not work under my headphones.
They have an anti-feedback capability and just shut down if I put the
cans on over them. They also notch out passing sirens and CW fools them
into believing my K3 is a fire truck. :-) My new ones talk to each
other [Bluetooth?]. Adjust one, the other adjusts too, and when one
decides to change programs, it takes its buddy along at the same time.
A friend [Jim, K9YC] who made his living in the professional audio
business showed me how to get an effective 30 or so dB of equalization
from the K3 RX EQ and suggested some settings to work from. Mine is now
set pretty good for me. Even 30 dB isn't enough for me but it helps.
One thing I found fooling with the RX EQ [Jim warned me too] is to GO
SLOWLY! I ended up making one small adjustment at a time and then using
it for awhile under different conditions before changing anything else.
Incidentally, I inherited a completely stock SX-28 and the large bass
reflex speaker cabinet a number of years ago. It has been the only
receiver-speaker combo I could really understand SSB on.

Don,
No adjustment to the K3 should be necessary.
