I don't use the internal speaker on the K3 as it sits under a shelf and with the radio sloping rearward, that is probably a recipe in frustration. I have a pair of Radio Shack Minimus 3.5 speakers (now probably getting close to 25 years old and not amplified) connected to the K3 and facing me positioned on either side and to the rear of the computer monitor that sits on the shelf directly above the K3. The audio is pleasant to me with the K3's volume control rarely advanced above the 9:30 or so position. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
