To get pictures of that recommendation, see this blog post. I collected a dozen sets of transmit equalization settings from this list and K9YC’s settings were representative of the consensus.
The process for the KX3 uses the digital voice recorder and A/B comparison by ear. In the KX3, the DVR is after equalization and compression in the transmit audio chain. Someone with detailed knowledge of the K3 would have to say whether that also works for that rig. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2015/09/09/transmit-audio-and-compression-with-the-elecraft-kx3/ wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 18, 2020, at 10:25 PM, Jim Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 6/18/2020 8:30 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> How do I get my K3 Tx audio to have more “punch”. > > Set TXEQ as follows: Three lowest bands max cut (-18 dB), fourth band -6 dB, > two highest bands +3 dB.
