[Elecraft] K3 Speaker question

[Brian Hunt]

Hi Gene,
Your reply below begs the question:  How do you have the Bose speakers 
hooked up?  The manual page 20 (Rev D6) says when you plug in external 
speakers it cuts off the internal speaker.  They are referring to the 
SPKRS 3.5mm jack on the rear of the K3.  If the Bose speakers are using 
some other audio output, i.e. LINE OUT, then they won't be cut off with 
the SPKR+PH = NO menu setting.

My K3 works exactly as the manual says.  I'm using the rear SPKRS jack 
for external stereo speakers.  I use LINE OUT for digital modes via a 
sound card.  I use the SPKR+PH menu set to YES or NO as conditions 
dictate and have that toggle set up on the PF1 button.  I keep a headset 
connected full time to the rear PHONES and MIC jacks with nothing 
plugged into the front panel.  The internal speaker is not used at all.

Hope this helps...

73,
Brian, K0DTJ
