[Elecraft] rx audio output K2

[Mike Markowski]

Mike,

My K2's AF gain is set at about 8 or 9 o'clock and is at a comfortable 
level for me.  (My shack is a quiet room in the back of the house.)

Generally, though, I don't use the K2's speaker.  I have a couple rigs 
and SWL radio whose external speaker outputs are hooked up to a little 
Behringer mixer board so that I can use a single external speaker in the 
shack.  You might consider something similar if you have more than one 
radio.  It's nice because you can set the rigs at a level comfortable 
when using the internal speaker in a stand alone set up but also set the 
mixer board levels so that all rigs sound more or less than same through 
the external speaker.  Then you have a single slider to adjust all rig 
volume levels.  It's a convenience, definitely not a necessity.  But 
it's also not expensive so maybe food for thought.

73,
Mike  ab3ap
