Mark,

Many computer speakers are quite sensitive to RF and cause that problem.
At my 100 watt power level, I have found the West Mountain Radio 
COMspkrs are immune to that problem (they are shielded).  I don't know 
what might happen at power levels above 100 watts.

The only thing I don't like about them is the bright blue LED.  I have 
mine covered with tape.

73,

I connected a cheap set of powered pc speakers to the KX3 but I hear distortion through the powered speakers when transmitting with the KX3 and KPA-100 connected to a KPA-500. Has anyone found a high quality powered speaker to connect to the KX3 that doesn’t distort when transmitting?
