Hi Bruce,
For communications bandwidths, a sturdy 4-ohm, 3 or 4 diameter mobile
speaker (non-powered) does a great job. For a bit more fidelity and to
take advantage of the K3's stereo speaker outputs, I use a pair of good
quality bookshelf-style speakers (again, non-powered).
Right
Bruce:
I'd suggest a 4 Ohm speaker! Actually, I'm using two (2) of the old Motorola
UN-amplified mobile speakers available on EBay for $10 or so. They are either
3.2 or 4 Ohms and work GREAT!

My 2 cents
I took Tom's (N0SS) suggestion and found two 4 Ohm com speakers. They are not
Motorolabut are Midland speakers boxes. They were marvelously. I tried
the Radio Shack OPTIMUS but they sounded muddy. They sound good on the two
meter FM rig in the shack, but not HF. I
I don't know if it's perect, but I like it. If you can get over the fact
that it's a
mobile CB (gasp) speaker, you find that it is built like tank and has a
reasonable
communications type sound. A nice change from the plastic and thin sheet
metal cabinets. The cable has decent size conductors
Good Evening:
If I was to add an external speaker to the K3 what would it be, looking
for suggestions as Dayton is just around the corner.

Good
Bruce,
The K3 offers 'stereo' with the subreceiver, and the AFX effects when
selected (without the subreceiver too). So I think the best external
speakers are moderate to good quality computer stereo speakers. I
bought a pair for about $25 at Staples and they serve me adequately.
