[Elecraft] K3 external speaker

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The N0SS suggested unamplified Motorola speakers are very good if 
you can find them at a reasonable price.  If you can't ... or 
don't want to go fleamarket shopping there are two other options 
I've found to be very reasonable ... 

Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com) has a pair of 3-way Indoor/Outdoor 
speakers (3 1/2" "bookshelf" speakers) - Insignia SP3Way - for 
about $30 a pair.  I believe they are WA6HHQ's choice ... 

Best Buy and Radio Shack both carry the Sony 5 1/4" two-way 
bookshelf speakers - Model SSB-1000 - for around $50.00. 
I picked up the Sony pair on sale at the local Radio shack 
for around $25 about a year ago.  

Both the Insignia and Sony are unamplified so there is no issue 
with RFI and no need for external power supplies.  They also 
provide a nice "uncolored" frequency response compared to most 
of the small "communications" speakers.
