Subject: [Elecraft] K3 speaker amp chip bites the dust again -
    CORRECTION!

My posting this morning about blowing the speaker amp chip was in 
error.  Further investigation reveals that I actually blew out 
the K3's internal speaker.  Ohmmeter measurement at the speaker 
terminals shows that the coil is wide open.  This is really good 
news, because the speaker is easily replaceable in the field.

It's also good news because it points out the efficacy of the 
E85056 protection mod.

My apologies for making a wrong assumption.  The symptoms were 
exactly the same as the two previous failures of the speaker amp.
