[Elecraft] KX1 Ext. Speaker

[Dan KB6NU]

I found a set of battery-powered, amplified computer speakers at  
Dayton for $3/pair. They were designed to use six C cells, three in  
one speaker and three in the other. I modified the main speaker to  
accept a 9V battery. So, for three bucks, I got a nice speaker to use  
with the KX-1 and a second, non-amplified speaker to use for another  
project.

73!
