[Elecraft] Potentially Excellent External Speakers...

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The Fostex 6301B is an outstanding monitor - I spec'd and used 
a lot of them in my professional life.  However, $175 +/- each 
new and $150/pr used on eBAY makes them serious overkill for 
the K3.  

A pair of KLH S-PRO4 satellite speakers ($40/pr. at Radio Shack), 
or the Insignia IS-SP3WAY ($32/pr at BestBuy.com) are excellent 
choices at lower cost than the Radio Shack equivalent of the 
Motorola/Midland/etc. "communications speaker."

No chance I'll be buying it anytime soon, at THAT price.
