Re: [Elecraft] OT: Need Recommendations for Powered Speaker for KX3 (WU6R)

I use this $9 stereo audio amp. It runs from a 9-18 V supply and puts out 15 W per channel. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4MT274/ I have some cheap Pyle speakers, but you might look for some Radio Shack Optimus Pro-X44AV speakers on

I drive the aux port of my Sangean WR-11 wood cabinet tabletop radio. Sounds fantastic. Best speaker I've found yet; tons of audio, no distortion, no RFI. John K7FD > On Dec 22, 2018, at 3:03 PM, Jim Brown wrote: > >> On 12/22/2018 2:08 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: >> Sounds like RF getting

Mark, Many computer speakers are quite sensitive to RF and cause that problem. At my 100 watt power level, I have found the West Mountain Radio COMspkrs are immune to that problem (they are shielded). I don't know what might happen at power levels above 100 watts. The only thing I don't

Depends largely with RF environment. Due to location of antenna and station, a strong RF field may exist at the station location. Separation between the two is our friend. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 22, 2018, at 4:25 PM, Nr4c wrote: > > I use West Mountain Radio Comm

My Bose Color Soundlink speaker works really well with my KX3. No distortion, no RF even when driving the KPA500 with the KX3. Michael Blake k9...@mac.com > On Dec 22, 2018, at 5:08 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: > > Sounds like RF getting into the audio amps of

Sounds like RF getting into the audio amps of the speakers. May require ferrite beads with a couple of turns thorough the beads on the audio and power cables. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 22, 2018, at 3:59 PM, Mark Wheeler via Elecraft > wrote: > > While the K3S is in the

[Elecraft] OT: Need Recommendations for Powered Speaker for KX3 (WU6R)

While the K3S is in the shop, I setup the KX3 as my temporary base station, but the internal speaker leaves a lot to be desired at higher volume. I connected a cheap set of powered pc speakers to the KX3 but I hear distortion through the powered speakers when transmitting with the KX3 and
