Ken, "...two of the original speakers..." means you built them or Bill
built them for you or you mean the "original" Sky-Tec? I've tried it
with the KX2 filter set all the way to 2.8. Also tried it with my KX1
and the same low volume.
I don't understand this term "padding" but it was suggested to me in a
post on the CW list that "most modern transceiver have headset outputs
that are padded to protect hearing" and I thought that might have
something to do with this low volume.
I really want to experience this phenomenal sound I've heard so much
about!!!

In answer to a list member question ... the speaker is acoustically
resonant and -very- narrow.
I suspect Stan's build and his KX2's filtered output tone are too far
apart.
I have two of the original speakers and they are phenomenal!

No,Peter, it "acts" like a filter to focus on CW frequencies between
approx 500 to 700 Hz while downplaying higher frequency noise. Good
stuff available via Google and Youtube and page 43 of current QST

G'day,
CW resonant speaker ? - does it have a filter in it ?
If the frequency is significantly different to the KX2's filter it would
explain the extremely low volume.

Subject: [Elecraft] KX2 speaker/headphone question
Hi folks. I need some assistance. Is the KX2's headset jack "padded"
to protect hearing?
I'm asking because I built the "CW Resonant Speaker" in the current QST
and it works great but the volume is so low that it's unusable.
Do I have to take the speaker output directly off the KX2's speaker
terminals to get more volume?
Thanks and 73,
Stan WB2LQF
Sorry for the bum post; fat fingers!!
