[Elecraft] KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

[Fred Smith]

I use this same setup it works very well with my KX3 and my iPad. It takes
up very little room in my KX3 case and will last a long time. It can be
charged using a cigar/USB adapter in car if needed.

Logitech has a stereo speaker that works great.  It is meant for the IPAD
but it fits Rose's case perfect (does not take up much room) and works in
stereo so you can hear the subreceiver when working split.  Once charged -
runs for a long time on internal battery.  Charged via USB.  A USB port on a
DC distribution box will keep it running indefinitely.

great, and have been using them with my K3 for years, and now my K3/0 &
Remote rig .  They do require power so may not be the best portable solution
for the KX3, I have some little battery powered ones for field use but for
the shack they are "da bomb".

Companion powered speakers. About $ 70 at Sam's Club as I recall. I found
out about these from the Flex reflector. They sound very nice and are RF
bulletproof. Have 2 inputs as well. Have my KX-2 on one and a TS-590S on the
other. 2 thumbs up !

was hearing me on his computer. They worked but broke after a year. My Bose
have been going strong for maybe 3 years now. Spend a couple more bucks and
buy the Bose.

crackling and static sounds were hard on my ears. In searching my junk box i
noticed a "Clear Speaker" from West Mountain. Yes it is a powered DSP
speaker but the fidelity is superb, quiet, no more harsh static sounds. I
run my KX3 with a small power supply so getting power to the speaker was a
not a problem.
