[Elecraft] K2 volume

Thu Aug 1 17:46:10 2002

I have used them for years on my HF, VHF and UHF radios in the mobile
environment and in the home stations.  I concur with the statements already
posted.  You can check with your local 2-way shops for surplus speakers.  Or
you can usually get them for $5-$10 at locations such as

Lots of 2-way dealers go to the ham fests to unload their older, less
commercially saleable equipment.  All the older trunk mount radios had the
external speakers as part of their accessory group.  Don't pass by the GE,
RCA, Johnson, Standard, etc. speakers as they are in the same class as the
Motorola.

There are many other similar sources.
