I use a 60 degree deflector made from 3" ABS plastic pipe that sits over the
stock top mounted speaker. This gives a noticeable boost to the
sidetonefrequency I prefer, 540Hz. I get nice room filling volume at low
settings of the AF gain pot directed toward ear level. So far this has
outperformed anyexternal speaker or headphones I have used for CW. One of
these days should be able to compare to K3S, but I would bet on my deflector
first.Never heard any spurious vibration/whine.

If you do this, be sure to leave some bare metal around the screws so
there can be good electrical contact for shielding purposes.
