[Elecraft] K3 using Clear Speech Speaker

2013-09-03 Thread Ron Midwin
I've been using the Heil version of the Clear Speech Noise Reduction Speaker for ~ 5 years. It has a 5 position noise control and I usually leave it at 1, which knocks down the noise without any negative effects on the sound. Heil no longer makes it, but I believe it uses similar circuitry.
