Hi Jim,

well, I would not agree on that points with you. Elecraft is marketing the
KX3 as a backpack AND desktop radio (with not available KXPA100 and
KXAT100). They also lay some emphazise on it being perfectly for newcomers,
etc. So I expect it to work with the internal speaker in shack situations,
too, not only with headphones. As I would expect from any other radio, too.
But the KX3 does the job okay in the (quiet) shack, as long as you don't
expect it to provide sound & loudness like a stereo system. ;-)
