I´m currently using a pair of old TV-speakers and I´m still looking for good
speakers.I´ve found the Dierking 40w
speakers(http://www.eurofrequence.de/lautsprecher/)in the internet.Is
anybody using them with the K3? Are they good?
Is there a recommendation from Elecraft or any wise audiophile?

Can I suggest that you might have a better response if you start your own

Good morning Chris -
I do not have direct experience with the speakers mentioned in your post, but I
use a pair of JBL Control 2 powered studio monitors. They are very accurate
and, perhaps most importantly, do not seem to radiate detectable RF (or be
susceptible to it).
Yup, and my software is almost ready to rollsee my thread

Hi Larry,
My KPA500 exhibits the same problem at times, don't know why. I turn off the
amp and then back on and then it will operate in OPER mode. I guess it is a
common problem.
