Hi Russ,
I am not sure what problem you perceive in the failure of the SP3 to amplify
it's signal allowing you to individually change it's volume setting. As some
say, "this is a feature - not a bug" as it prevents possible RFI interference
from a nearby transmitted signal. Volume on the K3 is controlled by the AF
knob. Is this not all you need? I mostly work CW and use my headphones for that
purpose. But sometimes, I am doing something else and would rather just listen
to the speaker. I rarely adjust he AF knob and yet, I can hear CW throughout
the house when the speaker is on. I use my K Pod to instantly switch between
headphones only or headphones and speaker. All this is controlled by the
configuration menu settings. I think you will enjoy the SP3 Russ, and if you
buy two you can have stereo!

Here is an on-topic question - thanks!!
I currently feed a powered speaker with the constant line output of my K3. I
can individually adjust that speaker's volume locally and the HP volume on the
K3.
I'm contemplating the purchase of an SP-3. As this speaker is unpowered, I
will have to use the K3 power amp and am afraid that I will lose the individual
volume control versatility I have.
If this is the case - would it be possible to repurpose the sub-rx (I don't
have one) AF gain "ring" to control the speaker amp level. My understanding is
that the speaker out and HP out's are fed by separate DAC's.
Thanks, Russ KD4JO
