I will amplify Jim's and Wayne's and Lyle's comment regarding audio, attenuation of a frequency or frequencies produces far superior results to boosting a given frequency or frequencies.   We have become accustomed to "boost this" and "boost that" when in fact attenuate this and attenuate that is the better option.   One just has to understand the spectral components of audio to figure out how "this and that" applies.

Wayne and Lyle have repeatedly warned against using excessive boost in
RXEQ.  One would be far better to reduce all values by 10 to 12 dB as
this will help prevent over driving the audio amplifiers, etc.

This has the same characteristic without the issues of over driving the
audio amplifier.

      RX EQ           1        -16
                      2        -12
                      3        -3
                      4         0
                      5         0
