[Elecraft] K3S Extenal Stereo Speakers

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

If you like the sound of the Polk Audio speakers, then I suggest a 
couple of resistors in series with the headphones to reduce the 
headphone level.

I'm using a pair of speakers from Radio Shack.  Catalog number 40-1313.  
These can be used powered with internal or external power or passive.  
They are basically 2" x 4" oval speakers in a nice enclosure.  I found 
two pair, new in the box, on the auction site for under $40 / pr.
