[Elecraft] External speakers suitable for K3

[NZ0T]

I'm using an old set of Radio Shack Minimus 0.8 (40-1313) amplified speakers
I had laying around with my K3.  They are black and match the K3 nicely.
Small but sound great and no hint of any RF problems at up to 500 watts.  No
longer made but if you can find some they work well.  Powered by 4 D cells
or external 6 volt source.  They automatically turn them selves off after a
few minutes without any input and come back on when it is resumed which
helps save batteries.  I power them with an old 6 volt cell phone charger
wall wart I had in the junk box.
