[Elecraft] speakers

[Mel Farrer]

Hi all,

Just a comment on speakers.  I use cans or a small computer speaker, non-amplified, for most SSB and CW work.   However, I do a reasonable amount of SW and BC listening with the K3 with the 6KHz filter and find an old HiFi combo speaker with a 8" woofer to be most pleasant to listen to.

Dan,

I see no need for a sub-woofer for use with the K3.
If you are running an amplifier, you may want to look at shielded 
speakers (usually non-amplified) because those with amplifiers are 
usually prone to RF problems.
The K3 has adequate audio to drive non-amplified speakers.  If you use 
AFX or you have the subRX you will want 2 speakers, but there is no need 
for any more than that, the K3 does not do Dolby Surround sound or 
anything of that nature.

If you want great low-frequency bass response in shielded speakers you 
may have to look to what is available in the pro-audio field, but for 
only communications quality, the Motorola speakers available on Ebay or 
at hamfests will do the job for you.

73,
