Dennis, Impedance matching in audio circuits has not been important since the days of vacuum tubes with audio output transformers. Were you operating the KX3 on batteries when you found that oscillation? If so, the internal resistance of the batteries would be the cause of the oscillation.

Dennis.. I've had very good results from the several West Mountain COMspkrs I have. 73! Ken Kopp - K0PP On Sat, Jun 29, 2019 at 11:01 AM Dennis via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > I searched the KX3 manual and could not find a specification for the > headset/speaker output jack.

[Elecraft] KX3 headphone output impedance and recommended speaker

2019-06-29 Thread Dennis via Elecraft
I searched the KX3 manual and could not find a specification for the headset/speaker output jack. Last weekend at Field Day I plugged in a low impedance speaker and got some oscillations above a certain output level. I want to optimize the impedance match to my computer for FT8 and also know wh
