Ronnie,
There are many newcomers to this list, and I for one do not mind
repeating an answer to something that has been hashed over before. Sorry
to hear that you have encountered some "nasty spoilsports". I may
encourage newcomers to review the list archives to provide additional
information, but I will never admonish a newcomer for asking a
question. This is an email list, and not a FAQ listing.
Back to the speakers question, Elecraft has recently released the SP3
which works great with the K3 and K3S, but if you have the KX3 in your
home station, you really need amplified speakers. As I stated before,
shielded speakers are a 'must' because most amplified computer speakers
will 'howl' in the presence of RF (it depends on the band). At the
workbench, I have that situation with my standard issue computer
speakers even at 10 watts working into a dummy load. Since I know what
to expect (and I am just testing at the workbench, not operating, I
ignore it, but that would not be tolerated for the hamshack).
If you need good shielded and amplified speakers, I can vouch for the
West Mountain Radio COMspkr. It works FB with my KX3 with KXPA100.
With the K3, non-amplified speakers work fine, and I will continue to
use my bargain basement RS Optimus speakers. If you have the K3 or K3S
and are looking for speakers, the Elecraft SP3 is a great choice (it is
not an amplified speaker) and matches the K3, K3S for those who like
matching components.

Thanks for the positive responses y'all, I'll pick up some speakers soon.
as for the unpositive responses off the list, dang.. I'm new to this list
and didn't realize there were so many hateful people. I didn't know
this had
been hashed over before on this list.
I shall not bother y'all further.
