Andrew, That small speaker - if driven to high volumes *will* distort - there is nothing that can be done about that. As far as the mechanical vibration, that is quite another thing. Look all around the speaker mounting plate - there should be a gap between that plate and the bottom cover. Be certain you can drag a sheet of paper into the gaps - if the paper is tight, a bit of filing (or forming) may be in order to widen the gap.
If there is already an adequate gap, please let us know that too - Elecraft is searching for the source of this mysterious vibration. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/19/2012 11:15 AM, Andrew Moore wrote: > My KX3's speaker audio starts to distort as higher volumes at certain > frequencies.
