[Elecraft] Gap Hearit Speaker

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

I have two mobile setups with IC-7000 radios.   One has the GAP and the 
other the West Mountain.  These speakers DSP is primarily in the audio 
range and helps with hiss and allows less radio DSP to be used.

In a mobile environment where you need an amplified speaker these are 
both good choices.

What they do not do is fix high background noise,  if the signal is 
below the noise these speakers will not allow you to hear it.

Now having both I believe the the West Mountain is slighty better than 
the GAP as it appears to have a better speaker in it.
