My KX3 only has a Phones output and that won’t drive speakers well, so I use an off-the-shelf headphone splitter and a cheap audio amp that runs off 12 V. The details are here. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2017/03/04/speakers-for-my-elecraft-kx3/

Chuck, Yes, you can do that by soldering a jumper across the switch at the rear of the headphone jack. If you prefer not to add the jumper, plug stereo computer speakers into the headphone jack and plug your headphones into the headphone jack on the speaker. Try different computer speakers,

I've recently begun volunteering aboard the museum ship USS Slater, where they have a K2 in Radio Central. I've looked through the manual, but might have overlooked this. Is there a way to have both headphones and external speaker active at the same time? I'm thinking of being able to have

Hi Don, Thanks for the pointers. We've just spent half an hour working through all of the steps that Chloe had gone through to install the extras and we spotted a few joints that needed touching up from the previous owner's build. Just tested the radio and we're back to full audio output.

Greetings list, I've been assisting my partner Chloe M0GEJ with some upgrades to her K2 (s/n 5484) and we've come a bit unstuck. It's a base K2 with SSB, 160m and the KAF2. She has added the internal ATU and the 60M module. She also had to replace a faulty headphone jack on the front panel

Iain, I suspect it is not really an audio problem, but a problem somewhere in the receiver front end or IF or product detector. If the S-meter is less lively than before, the problem is prior to the Product Detector, but if the S-meter has the usual response, look at the product detector

Ariel, There are very few places to check resistance. You should find a high resistance at all pins of the LM386 (except perhaps pin 6 which is the voltage rail and pin 4 which is ground. Note that all other pins have a capacitor and that will stop DC continuity - therefore giving a high

Is Tony using the internal speaker? My K2 has lots of volume too, for phones or its internal speaker, but Elecraft uses a fairly efficient speaker in either the QRP or K2/100. Some external speakers are not nearly as efficient. They assume lots of watts of audio are available to drive them. Ron
