Phil, I had a hearing test done, and asked for the resultant data showing frequency vs sensitivity...
I selected a spot where my ear was most sensitive in the 400 to 700 Hz range, and then set the K3 zero beat to that frequency... CW is a LOT better now! I had placed the zero beat at my worst point inadvertently... What a difference a few db makes. -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Tue, 2015-01-06 at 10:35 -0800, Phil Wheeler wrote: > I'm deaf in one ear (nerve zapped 50 years ago by > Meniere's episode) and at 78 have moderate loss in > the other, so it has a hearing aid which makes a > huge difference for music and conversation.
