[Elecraft] K3: Speakers

[Fred Smith]

Yes David very hard to beat speakers for the K3/KX3 considering the price. I
have been using mine for almost 2 yrs.

supply. 

Some better news, in my collection of old stuff I found a small wall power
supply that is of older non switched mode design, (you can tell by the
weight apart from anything else), it was actually from a pair of powered
speakers that I no longer use with an older computer and had the correct
connector. It is slightly higher output DC voltage than the one the
manufacturer supplied, but I presume that the regulator in the speaker amp
will handle it. (I could find no information on the input voltage limits of
the speaker either on the product or the box/leaflet). 

Anyway, tested it with the KX3 this morning and it all sounds fine, plenty
of volume and no rattles or resonance, no breakthrough from mobile phone RF
close by. Nice to have stereo on the speakers for the audio effects like
Delay and Pitch in the KX3.

All is well,
