"Find of the Year" award goes to WA5ZNU for this neat little speaker.  
It's PERFECT for the KX1.

As others have pointed out, they come two to a package for $10 at Walgreens.

Both worked fine with all wires and components securely soldered.  
However, the battery cover on one unit snapped tight without batteries, 
but snapped "loose" when they were in the compartment.  The problem 
resulted from minuscule excess "chads" of plastic on the inside of the 
curved battery cover where the cover was supported during molding.    
Needle-nosed cutters [FedExed overnight from the RNC] corrected the 
"hanging chad" issue.

Many thanks go to Leigh for being so observant.
