[Elecraft] Phonema Speaker for K3

[Dennis Griffin]

I've used the Yaesu SP-8 for a decade or more with my FT-847 and am quite pleased with it. That pairing allows me to hear a 60 Hz AC hum or the 67 Hz PL tone on a repeater signal, which can be filtered out, if I choose to. I seem to recall that I paid about $150 for it new. It is an example of an OEM external speaker with good range & a full sound, plus some filtering options.
