Ed,
One possible reason for your lack of satisfaction in external speakers
may be that they are all 8 ohm speakers.
The K2 audio amplifier does not have a lot of excess gain (that was by
design to limit the receive current). If you are to get a decent amount
of power out of it, the speaker load must be 4 ohms or less. A higher
impedance (or less efficient) speaker will sound quite weak compared to
the internal speaker.
An amplified speaker can be used to fix that.

I'm amazed at how well my K2 internal speaker works and sounds! Every time I
plug in an external speaker, I've quickly gone back to the internal
speaker........
So, has anyone found an external speaker for the k2 that sounds "better" than
the internal unit? Also, I'm really not willing to spend a bunch of $$ on one...
Thanks and 73
