I've done extensive testing on both a ts570, and a ts2000 with the tx eq 
settings, and find that for any of 3 different microphones, the "off" 
setting sounds the best.  I had a local ham record my audio and send me the 
wav files...he was using the audio out on the accessory jack of his rig, so 
there shouldn't have been any coloration from his receiver audio amp.
The C setting sounds close to the "off" setting, but I think they add in 
some mid range punch which makes it sound a little naisally

I never could get the eq and band width software for the ts2000 to work with 
JAWS...seems very graphical and I could never get it to do what I wanted.
I think you can only go 3KC on tx regardless of what you do in any software 
without physically modifying the radio...I seem to remember you could get 
around 4KC band width on receive with the help of the software.
Nothing like the 12KC tx band width I was listening to on 3840 last night.
Most guys who want to taylor their audio use external equipment such as 
equalizers, enhancers, compressors and gates and so on.
I suppose if you set the tx eq to FP, then use an external EQ, you might get 
the best results...with no coloration in the audio from the radio.
