I agree. Figure 2 in the SP3 manual has it backwards. The Elecraft K3 and SP3 both follow the standard convention for a TRS or "stereo" connector: Tip = Left Ring = Right (an alliteration that's easy to remember) Furthermore, when using TRS-to-RCA patch cables: White = Left Red = Right

Phil, You really need powered speakers on the KX3, or a very sensitive speaker - like the one used in the K2, housed in an enclosure. Keep in mind that for the K2 speaker, the K2 enclosure itself provides a good cavity - the speaker sounds weak until it is mounted on the K2. 73, Don W3FPR
