Hi Russ,
I am not sure what problem you perceive in the failure of the SP3 to amplify it's signal allowing you to individually change it's volume setting. As some say, "this is a feature - not a bug" as it prevents possible RFI interference from a nearby transmitted signal. Volume on the K3 is controlled by the AF knob. Is this not all you need? I mostly work CW and use my headphones for that purpose. But sometimes, I am doing something else and would rather just listen to the speaker. I rarely adjust he AF knob and yet, I can hear CW throughout the house when the speaker is on. I use my K Pod to instantly switch between headphones only or headphones and speaker. All this is controlled by the  configuration menu settings.  I think you will enjoy the SP3 Russ, and if you buy two you can have stereo!

 Now that I have your attention - off topic subjects get the most airtime it seems....

Here is an on-topic question - thanks!!


I currently feed a powered speaker with the constant line output of my K3. I can individually adjust that speaker's volume locally and the HP volume on the K3.

I'm contemplating the purchase of an SP-3.  As this speaker is unpowered, I will have to use the K3 power amp and am afraid that I will lose the individual volume control versatility I have.

If this is the case - would it be possible to repurpose the sub-rx (I don't have one) AF gain "ring" to control the speaker amp level.  My understanding is that the speaker out and HP out's are fed by separate DAC's.

Thanks, Russ KD4JO
