I strongly agree with Joe. Both of us have broadcast experience, after
that, I spent most of my life in pro audio. And I've been a ham for 67
years. Not to be interpreted as set in my ways -- far from it, I was an
early adopter of WSJT modes about 10 years ago. My only minor difference
with Joe is that I'd also do max cut at 200 Hz for SSB and 6 dB cut of
400 Hz. Agree, no more than 3-6 dB boost of the top two bands.

Parametric EQs are much less flexible than a graphical.
When it comes to graphical, the RX EQ built into the K3
is much better suited to the job at hand than most of
the small 6/7/8 band consumer products that generally
have "bands" up to 20 or 40 KHz that are wasted for
our purposes.
The K3 RX EQ maintains separate settings for SSB and CW.
I generally set CW to max cut for 50/100 and -6/10/12
for 1600/2400/3200 (my pitch is ~500 Hz). SSB is set to
max cut at 50/100, flat at 200/400/800, +2/4 at 1600/2400
and -8 at 3200 (to roll off a hit of the hiss).
Those settings are not as "hard" as some would suggest
for TX EQ but seem to help. For phone one could push
the 1600/2400 boost a bit but too much boost will do
more harm that good.
