I'm thoroughly convinced that I'm as bright as I'm ever gonna get. :-)
I followed Jim's advice for both RX and TX EQ after wasting a whole bunch of time trying to figure it out myself [see first sentence above]. I use a Heil Proset with the iC element from Elecraft, and in rare forays into the phone bands, I invariably get unsolicited "great audio" reports.
Another piece of advice from him: When messing around with things like TX and RX EQ or AGC <mumble> that have multiple possible settings, go very slow ... one change at a time followed by some OT&E [Milspeak for Operational Test and Evaluation]. Some of the effects of the changes can be very subtle [see first sentence above].

7) Get some signal reports. Ask those listeners to set their receive IF to a fairly wide setting, like 2.7-2.8 kHz. Depending on your voice and your mic, you may want to cut the 400 Hz band a bit more or less, and you may want 3-6 dB peak for the top two bands (this will make you "brighter"). 73, Jim K9YC
