SSB Phone Microphone Treble – What difference does Treble Make?
Icom 7610 and Icom 7300 Tone Control
In these two transceivers the microphone treble and bass can be adjusted for RX and TX. See the Icom 7300 Full Manual pg 12-3. The adjustments can be made for the following modes: AM, FM, SSB and even CW and RTTY on receive.
My SSB RX is using HPF/LPF 100-2400 Hz. My SSB TX Treble is +4.

Compromises with Hearing and/or Hearing Aids
Important information from a fellow Ham and food for thought.
One thing that I believe very few of us middle aged and older hams think about is the "last mile" of that audio link, our ears!
To not put too fine a point on it, is your hearing "flat"? Do you use hearing aids? If not, have you been tested?
I do use hearing aids, and I noticed that your demo with TREBLE +4 sounds too bright when I am wearing them, but about right when I am not. With the aids your +2 setting sounded better. - W0FAA

I have been studying about the possibility of connecting my IC 7300 to HRD for digital mode use. I’m sure the cables were connected before updating the drivers. Is there a method to correct the situation?
Hi Larry,
Nice to hear from you and thank you for commenting here.
If it is working I wouldn’t be concerned about it. If not, then uninstall the Com port driver and re-install the correct one from Icom. You can find the information here.
