[Elecraft] I need More RX Volume on my K3, has anyone run an external audio amp?

[Harry Yingst]

It's actually "AF Gain" and yes it's set to 'HI'.
I just need to find a good 10-15 watt RMS Stereo amp to put in line with the speakers.

When I'm trying to pull a weak signal out and switch on the NR the audio gets pretty light.

That combined with hearing that has taken some abuse (Military, industry etc) I just need a little more volume.

There's an AUD GAIN parameter in the CONFIG menu. If it is not already set to HI then try that first.
