[Elecraft] KX3 amplified mobile speaker

[Mike Schwendeman]

Be VERY careful when you use the external speakers!  I was using my KX3 
with a small HOME brand speaker system for an iPod; I had the level 
adjusted to a moderate level, but had a noise burst.  The system 
(radio/external speaker) was silenced.  I unplugged the HOME speaker, 
and the audio was OK in the KX3.  I disassembled the Home speaker, 
decided to get a new audio amp as a repair, as the unit was going to be 
too hard to justify the effort.  I found a small amp on good old eBay, 
which I just received TODAY!

My point is that this is a great idea, but just be aware of the 
possibility of overload.  I have no idea if my issue is an isolated 
case, or not.
