The Fostex 6301B is an outstanding monitor - I spec'd and used a lot of them in my professional life. However, $175 +/- each new and $150/pr used on eBAY makes them serious overkill for the K3.
A pair of KLH S-PRO4 satellite speakers ($40/pr. at Radio Shack), or the Insignia IS-SP3WAY ($32/pr at BestBuy.com) are excellent choices at lower cost than the Radio Shack equivalent of the Motorola/Midland/etc. "communications speaker." 73, ...
