[Elecraft] SPEAKER FOR K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

I would suggest that you get 2 speakers for the K3 so you can enjoy the 
AFX effects if you do not have the KRX3 installed, or with the KRX3 you 
can hear the main RX in one speaker and the KRX3 in the other.

I use 2 small non-amplified speakers with my K3.  They are the old Radio 
Shack Optimus speakers that I was able to pick up in a "used stuff" 
store for a bargain price, but any pair of good fidelity speakers will 
do the job nicely.

I would suggest that you look for "full fidelity" speakers and use the 
RX EQ to tailor the response to your preferences.

If you are looking at amplified speakers, computer speakers may be OK, 
but many of them suffer from RF exposure and will make nasty noises when 
you transmit.  For my KX3, I opted for the West Mountain Radio Comspkr 
and have had no RF problems with them.

73,
Don W3FPR
