Wyane & Eric:

I noted the following from the Elecraft K3 FAQ page concerning the K3's TX EQ settings:

"The bands are centered at 200, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1600, 2400, and 3200 Hz. We can easily change these if something else turns out to make sense. Also note that TX EQ will be adjustable while in TX mode..."

As long as you're open to suggestion, I would strongly recommend using slightly different centered bands of 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2400, 3200 Hz The lower limit of 200 Hz will not allow the user to optimize low frequency voice tailoring and adequate notching of the 150-200 Hz spectrum without sacrificing low-end content. As SSB transmit B/W narrows, articulation is significantly improved by narrow subtraction of the 150-200 Hz spectrum while maintaining adequate amplitude of approximately 80-100 Hz (assuming the K3 will pass this degree of low-end spectrum owing to the carrier set point placement through the crystal and DSP filters). The user could then accomplish this effect by adjusting the 100Hz and 200 Hz settings.

Also note that unlike the current K3 band centers, when beginning with 50 Hz, each successive band increases in exactly one-octave increments. Thanks for your consideration!

Paul, W9AC (K3 on order)
