[Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

SPX3 Here is an update to the powered external speaker for the KX3 I've been developing, named SPX3. It has required a lot of patience waiting for prototype circuit boards and sheet metal enclosure parts to be fabricated. Refinements are still in process. At any rate, here is the latest.

Hi Joan, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I don't want to seem to be arbitrary in my decision making, which is why I wrote the cost-benefit analysis. Also, I want folks to have a chance to let me know what's most important to them and inform me of anything I may have overlooked or am not

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Hey, Robert, here’s a thought: Given the irony of a secondary model (a passive version of the speaker) actually having higher production cost (due to the more limited production run), you could simply produce one model: an active speaker—which has the added versatility of being able to be

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Some RTTY software supports the subreceiver with dual decode, using both left and right channels on the K3/K3S. I haven't experimented with dual watch on the KX3, but it is probably useful to get both channels into the PC for digimodes. 73 Bill AE6JV On 4/16/18 at 4:50 AM,

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Hi Don, Thanks for clarifying that. This is an easy one. I'll just send both channels to the output port, but reversed, so the right channel still becomes the left for the second speaker. Since they're both carrying the same signal, it doesn't make any difference to the computer. Only the left

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Robert, It is not the KX2/KX3 that decides which channel from the soundcard is used, but the PC application software.  In general the left channel is used for digital work, but some can reverse it. So it is best to buffer the PHONES output and send it off to a separate jack. 73, Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Hi Don, Thanks for your feedback. I'm hoping one volume knob will do the job for everyone else too. Plus, if the KX3 puts out enough signal for the PC, then you don't really want an amplifier in the signal path. I want to be sure about the channel which needs to go to the sound card. Are you

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Robert, You will need to provide a means of connecting the KX2/KX3 PHONES output to a soundcard for the use of digital modes. The KXSPA should connect to the left channel since that is the channel that is normally used by soundcard digital. I think that means you would want to provide a

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone for all the great feedback I've been getting on the speaker. Here's are some requested features: 1. One stereo channel to speaker driver and another channel to output jack (already in first prototype) 2. 12V input (planned is 9-15V, like the

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Robert, I really like the idea of a matching active and passive speaker set for the KX3; I’d be very interested in having one active one, with an internal rechargeable battery, and one passive one. Having a USB on the side for additional functionality is also very desirable. Thanks for

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

Keith, You can already do that with a simple stereo cable to connect the KX2/KX3 PHONES jack to your computer soundcard input. The computer soundcard level can be changed without varying the KX2/KX3 AF gain. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/14/2018 9:47 PM, Keith Onishi wrote: I would prefer
