[Elecraft] Speaker upgrade

[Buck]

If you don't care for amplified speakers, the Pyle 3" Mini Cubes are 
excellent.  Less than $30 a pair online.

>>> Regardless of radio, my go to is the black Motorola mobile speakers (~5" square, with mounts).  Already shaped for communications audio (chopped lows, peaked mids and some highs) by design, they sound awesome on the K3 *once you find a matching output pair* (they can vary in output by several dB).  Estate sales, swap meets and radio shop closures are prime spots to find them; often $10 each (oh heck yeah, snag it and bag it!).
