Hi folks -

I'll share my experience relative to one of Don's comments above. It
doesn't involve my K2 so please bear with hi hi. I had an 8" PA type 10
watt amplified speaker hooked up to the audio out line on my 756PRO. The
PRO is not noted for having the best audio. I grew tired of the size of
the speaker after time and tried a new Motorola speaker off the regular
external speaker jack. I was truly amazed. I would say that the volume
and clarity increased by about 40 percent. I now have ZERO complaints
about the 756PRO audio AND a speaker with a small footprint that is
built like a Sherman tank. I'm totally pleased. As I mentioned earlier,
I think this is all subjective depending on your own audio preference,
but I was truly surprized at the difference between these two approaches
to handling audio. I also have the same speaker on the K2 with great
success. Again, my two cents worth. Have a good Sunday everyone.
