New products are always welcome. I look forward to "hearing them" at
maybe one of the next ham fests. I like the fact the SP3 uses an oval
speaker. I've never figured out exactly why, but I find ovals typically
do sound better than rounds, but maybe it seems to be only in my findings.
As a comment, I prefer non-amplified speakers as this avoids the
potential RFI issues when used with the radio. The model that I
mentioned and use has a slight tilt to the bottom which aligns the front
with the K3S with its front elevated by the stand.
I also find the audio system in the K3S to be really nice, specially the
2 channel effect using the AFX feature along with a stereo speaker
configuration. This give a nice wide spatial effect to which I find
very pleasing. Thanks Wayne and company for doing a fine job with the
K3S and its new features.
