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

[Dave Heil]

My answer is to use the Radio Shack Optimus SA-155 Integrated Stereo 
Amplifier.  It was also produced as the RCA SA-155.  Specs are 1.8W per 
channel, 25-25,000 Hz.  Has tone and balance controls, an 1/8" stereo 
phone jack and a tuner, CD/tape and phono switch.  Works fine with phone 
or the beefy speakers I use (about three times the size of typical 
computer speakers).  Mine sits atop  the K3 with 3/4" to spare on either 
side of the K3.
