I have the eight band equalizer as well as the EQ plus which I use on occasion with the k3. I mainly use that gear with other radios. There is a rotary switch on the back of the EQ plus which allows me to switch the microphone quickly between any of three radios which are hooked to the unit. That makes it very convenient and I can use my Heil PR 40 with any of them. I normally use a Heil Pro headset with the k3 but either arrangement works very well. The EQ plus offers additional processing over and above what is available with the k3. I do use a slight amount of audio compression which is very effective and does not seem to cause the audio to deteriorate in any way. I do not use the noise gate because fortunately I don't need it in the shack. I also put a very slight amount of delay in the loop. It is not enough to be noticeable as a delay but it does seem to add a bit of presence to the audio. However, if it wasn't for the ease of switching the mike from one radio to another I probably would not bother with the IHY gear with the k3 because I do think the k3 offers more than enough control for most purposes.
