[Ken G Kopp]

I can't speak more highly about my two pairs of West Mountain speakers.

73 !

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,

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?
