[Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Ronnie,

Find yourself a pair of 'bookshelf' speakers normally used for "HiFi 
stereo" installations.
Those small speakers were popular some time ago.  I picked up a pair of 
Radio Shack Optimus speakers in a second hand store for $5 and they work 
great with my K3 - those speakers are 5 inch cubes.  They are not 
powered - just speakers, so no worry about RF getting into the amplifier.
Alternately, build your own small speaker enclosure and mount a good 
high fidelity speaker inside (look at the audiophile sites).
Get a full range speaker - the speaker should not restrict the audio 
frequency response, the K3 has the RX EQ which will allow you to tailor 
the audio response that you want to hear.

With my KX3, I needed amplified speakers, and after many trials with PC 
speakers which howled during transmit, I 'bit the bullet' and ordered a 
pair of West Mountain Radio COMspkrs - shielded and nary a sound of RF 
feedback from them even with the KXPA100.  They are a bit larger than I 
would like, but they do work fine.  They will work great with the K3.
