[Elecraft] KX3 low volume

[Don Wilhelm]

If small is not the major consideration, and if you are running with the 
KXPA100 and have problems with RF pickup in your speakers, try the West 
Mountain Radio ComSpeakers - they are shielded.  I have never had RF 
'howls" from those speakers, but then I run a maximum of 100 watts.
