We're talking about SSB here but I also like the same kind of sound when receiving CW with the filter wide open. The idea is not to make the audio sound muffled and lose intelligibility. Personally I think the bass boost is more important to improving the sound than the treble cut. But a lot depends on what you are listening on. The K3 internal speaker has a lot more bass than headphones or many external speakers. I can't fault the audio on the internal speaker or on computer headphones plugged in round the back, using the settings given below, but two pairs of hi-fi stereo headphones and some external passive speakers (all of which probably 8 ohm impedance) are lacking in bass and tiring to listen to. The settings I'm currently using are: 50Hz +0 100Hz +3 200Hz +6 400Hz +6 800Hz +3 1600Hz +0 2400Hz -3 3200Hz -9 I do hope there will be mode dependent settings eventually because FM, in particular, doesn't need equalization like this. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
