Jim's settings look good for standard bandwidth SSB. For the K3's ESSB mode, I would rein-in on the EQ extremes, and try a cut at 200Hz. The 50-100Hz bands can be flat or even boosted slightly, depending on the response of the mic. At the high end, I would back off on the 3.2K setting to no more than +5-6 dB, again depending on the mic's response. Results will vary, but that's a good place to start with a dynamic mic. I'm not sure if anyone has measured the K3's TX ESSB distortion products between 50-100 Hz (sourced through the front panel mic connector), but backing off on TX output power and running a slightly elevated V+ may be the neighborly thing to do.
