[Elecraft] WA3WSJ: KX1 Mini Speaker

[Doug Person]

Interesting idea.  I think I have one of those speakers.  I'm going to 
try mounting it in a small metal utility box that, with rubber feet, 
should be about the same height as the KX-1.  If I can get the phone 
plug mounted in the right place it would plug right in. Conceivable to 
even put an lm380 type amp in there with a couple of AA batteries.  But 
first, see if there is enough energy the way it is.
