[Elecraft] KX2/KX3 built-in speakers

[Brian Hunt]

In a quiet setting either indoors or outdoors I find the KX2 internal speaker adequate. If there is much background noise or careful listening is needed (crowded bands and/or weak signals) then I will go to Apple earbuds. If you use external speaker(s), powered speakers are needed because the KX2 speaker amp is bypassed when the headphone jack is used. I have a pair of Sony battery powered speakers that work perfectly.
