SSB TX EQ

I'm not naturally a 'phone operator and avoid playing with audio settings as much as possible. I prefer simple “communications quality” audio when I use SSB. The FT-891 is intended to be my “phone mode radio” and I've done some initial adjustments to try and achieve a clean communications quality setup.

Here are the settings I've got on the FT-891
