[Elecraft] [K3] A speaker for the K3

[Phil Wheeler]

Me, too re "I found some other really nice 
speakers that I still have (and are now running on 
my K3). I haven't touted them here, because 
they've been discontinued for 20 years. :)"

I suspect many/most of us have such speakers 
around. Anyway, these days there seems to be much 
more interest in having a 27" video monitor 
hanging on the wall to support the P3/SVGA and 
other such devices ;-)
