Hi Joe,

Please NO! I already run RX Audio bands 1 and 2 at -16 dB to
eliminate excessive bass - no more bass, please!

You won't see much on the headphone output because of the 10 uF
coupling capacitors. The effect is quite obvious on both the
speaker output and
1 and 2. On the line output I see a little less bass than the other
outputs
and I would expect this since it has a transformer in line that the
speaker
and phone output doesn't. In fact I don't see a change if I go crazy
boosting RX RQ bands 1 and 2.
Jay,

I concur with what has been said regarding the hissy audio. The receiver
audio seems to be on the mid-range to high frequency side without enough low
frequencies in the passband. Experiments with RX EQ apparently have not done
anything to eliminate this hiss, but maybe the firmware can be

Is what you call hissy just a lack of bass? I think of hissy as high
pitched white noise, like wind blowing through a narrow pipe. Is that what
you hear? Adding low freq. audio won't reduce hiss at all but I don't think
we are dealing with hiss
I have tried to adjust the audio of the K3 to my liking.
Hi side of spectrum: To get rid of the higher freq's I set the RX-eq 8
to minus 8dB.
Lo side of the spectrum: I tried out the RX-eq 1 and 2. Absolutely no
difference! Not even with the lo cut set to zero.
RX-eq 3 (200Hz) responded better.
Audio is notorious for having a very subjective vocabulary, and this may make
it hard to understand what is meant. I hear terms like hissy, rounder, lack of
bass etc in this discussion. In an attempt to make this discussion more to the
point I would suggest this list compiled by Bruce Bartlett
After reading all the postings about audio, I tried a couple of different
ear sets. I set all but my equalizer to normal settings for SSB. My
equalizer I didn't touch until I tried to see the impact when I tried
different earbuds.
I do not have Heil pro's as I don't like the cover the ear

Hi Joe,
Looking at Spectra right out of the Phones output, I don't see where bands
1or 2 do all that much in lowering K3's bass.
Having the rig on SSB using the 2.7 Khz filter, the Lo on 0, I see no
change on bands 1 and 2 when I set them
There seems to be no consensus as to what the hiss or noise is. Therefore,
there is no consensus on how to fix it. This noise, whatever it is, is
something I can live with because I think the K3 is the best overall
transceiver I have owned to date.
Forget this noise thing. My main concern
You are right Jay. Bands 1 and 2 do nothing. There's nothing to reduce!
On my modified K3, adjusting band 2 (100Hz) will produce bone-jarring bass
when boosted above +5 dB.
However, even though my moded K3 easily produces audible beats down to 30
Hz, adjusting Rx EQ band 1 (50 Hz) has no
