Minimus 7.  I pick them up at estate sales.  I have over a half dozen around here.  I have a pair on my K3S another pair on my TS-890 and a couple+subwoofer on the AV receiver/TV set. Of course most of the time with the radios I use a headset and wouldn't dream of using speakers:-) Wes  N7WS

Rob Sherwood NC0B agreed to freely share his transmitted composite noise measurements (dBc/Hz). Rob's measurements are limited to only those transceivers he has access to. Bob has always offered top measure the performance of any transceiver, but of course he needs access for testing.
