Stan, Sorry I wasn't more specific. My two are the original Skytek units ... one is still wrapped and in the original box.
Trivia: They were made in Ukiah, CA. Several friends have built them ... mostly horizontal versions. There's nothing special about the angle beyond esthetics. 73 Ken - K0PP On Feb 6, 2017 19:31, "stan levandowski" <sjl...@optonline.net> wrote: 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!!! 73, Stan WB2LQF On Mon, Feb 06, 2017 at 09:18 PM, Rose wrote: 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! 73 Ken - K0PP On Feb 6, 2017 19:07, "stan levandowski" <sjl...@optonline.net> wrote: > No,Peter, it "acts" like a filter to focus on CW frequencies between > approx 500 to 700 Hz while downplaying higher frequency noise.
