Gordon Heritage came out with an artictle in The Searcher Magazine where he gives specifics on settings for the Equinox 800 on making it sound more like the 3030.  He tells the specific settings he changes from factory default.  You will gain confidence by just reading the article.  I paid $2.99 to read the digital edition of the April issue.  There is much, much more in the magazine. Here is the link to read the 3 pages of the article and get your March issue: https://www.mymagazinesu
