[Elecraft] Volume increase in the K2

[Don Brown]

Hi

This is an option however all computer speakers are not created equal. I =
have found some of them do not like to work in close proximity to RF fiel=
ds and will buzz when keying the transmitter. This problem seems to be wo=
rse on the type with built in power supplies rather than the wall wart ty=
pe. This is usually caused by improper RF bypassing of the rectifier diod=
es in the power supply. If you can open the speakers up you could try a .=
01 UF across each rectifier in the power supply.

I have tested a set of Edirol speakers made by Roland and they work fine.=
 Not cheap ($100) but nice speakers with 10 watts per channel in wood cab=
inets. It has a 2 channel mixer so two radios could be connected at the s=
ame time. =20

Well just for the heck of it, I plugged in my computer stereo speakers in=
to
the headphone jack of the K2.  The speakers are nothing fancy, but they a=
re
amplified and I could get more volume then I would ever need.
