Re: [Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3

Hi Steve, I have used a pair of Motorola HSN4018C mobile radio speakers with my K3 for years, as well as now with my new K3S. They are tailored for communications-grade voice frequency response. They are black and look great next to the rig. They are not inexpensive if you order them new,

Re: [Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3

However, make sure that they match in volume too. I've had two identical speakers with one of them several db lower in volume (fortunately I had more, so I used another). Both appeared to be in near new condition. Once matched, outstanding. I've used them for many years in mobile environs

Re: [Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3

I have a pair of Jensen 6 by 9 speakers each one in one of those rectangular fuzzy speaker enclosures that we used to see in the back window of stereo in cars. Set on a shelf over the K3, they sound awesome. These are not coaxial, but the ones with those "whizzer" cones. Great for speech. -

Am I missing something? Why would one want to use an amplified speaker on a K3 since the radio already has an amplifier? Doing so would seem to invite distortion and RF pickup. The K3's audio output is supposed to have a 4 ohm load and computer speakers are probably closer to 1000 ohms. It's

I used 6" bookshelf speakers for several years with very good results until I got tired of the extra room they took on the desk. About a year ago I picked up a set of Pye PCB3BK 3.5" cube speakers ... a perfect size to set on either side of the "K-Line" ... for about $25 on Amazon.com. Since

Sorry about the bad attitude from some. Bet they like to troll around DX pileups and send/yell UP!! as well. Vote number three for the West Mountain CommSPKR's. I have two pair, one on the shack computer and one on the radio. The only thing done to mine is lengthening the short, my opinion,

hope this hasn't already been moderated - get the digest hours after the "fact". I tried a couple old computer speakers which were horrible sounding and also subject to RFI (have a little on 80 & 40m). So I bought the COMspkr from West Mountain Radio and am happy. I run my KX3 thru this

I will agree that the WMR COMM speakers are good. I tried a pair of BOSE speakers and they sounded great, but they "thumped" when sending CW on 160meters. The WMR speakers don't "thump" but otherwise sound great. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Nov 22, 2015, at 4:08 PM, Kevin Stover

Re: [Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3

Steve, With audio, you can forget about matching impedance, it is the voltage that matters. An audio amplifier will operate into a 4 ohm or a 1000 ohm load just fine. With the 4 ohm load, power is required, but for a 1000 ohm load, not much power is necessary. But more direct to your

Small bookshelf type non amplified speakers. I don't suggest "computer types" as they are typically amplified. I found some Radio Shack/Realistic speakers being discontinued as catalog #40-1313. They work quite nice. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 11/21/2015 5:24 PM, w5...@comcast.net wrote: I’m

I use the Behringer MS40 amplified speakers. RF has never bothered them (1 kW) and they have two channels of input - so you can use left/right K3 (each RX) and the other for left/right from your computer. If you want something a little less expensive, the Creative Inspire T10 amplified
