[Elecraft] speaker

[John R. Lonigro]

John:
The external speaker jack is mono.  When you plug a stereo plug into a 
mono jack, you only get sound on the speaker connected to the tip of the 
plug.  I guess you could either replace the mono jack with a stereo one 
or replace the stereo plug with a mono one.  Either way, you'd have an 
impedance mismatch.  If you are using amplified speakers, maybe it would 
work if you plugged them into the headphone jack, which is a stereo 
jack.  Some think the K2 audio output is marginal.  I can't imagine it 
getting better if you try to drive 2 non-amplified speakers instead of 1.

Good luck,
