Phil, You may want to check out the Behringer mixers even though they may have more inputs than you need.  I don't know if any of the inputs support Bluetooth natively. They are low in price and work well. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/26/2021 10:06 AM, Phil Kane wrote: Really OT but where else can I

Really OT but where else can I ask and get good replies? I am looking for a small mixer that will handle two inputs: the wired low-level audio output from my computer as well as a blue-tooth connection to my HT. I have a pair of small amplified speakers that do a good job on the computer

I have my headset with mike plugged into the rear PHONES and MIC, the headphones plugged into the front PHONES jack, and my boom mike connected to the MIC connector.  Plus my external speakers plugged into the rear SPKRS jack.    The manual explains how to do this so all works as expected.

Since the K3 has stereo output, I suggest you look at the West Mountain Radio ComSpeakers.  They do a good job. My K3 had 2 Radio Shack mini speakers on it, and the KX3 uses the ComSpeakers.  Great in all respects. 73, Don W3FPR The original poster asked about plugging in both the speakers

Yes, They call it ComSpkr and it is priced at $39.95. It is a pair of "computer" speakers, but it is shielded so it does not buzz when RF is present. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/24/2021 11:50 AM, NJMike wrote: Can you confirm the West Mountain ComSpeaker is #58410-950? Since I’m a new K3S owner and

The COMspkr is amplified, which you don’t need with the K3. I use the Pyle cubes with my KX3 (and a small audio amp). They are fine. Currently $28.28 on Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MCGF1O/ Another option would be the old Radio Shack AV speakers with the cast aluminum

Absolutely, I've used a pair with each of my K3(s) for several years. They replaced larger "bookshelf" speakers with no loss in quality. The little Pyle do not have the low end of the larger "bookshelf" speakers, the spectrum below 200 Hz or so is not something that is missed for

If you don't care for amplified speakers, the Pyle 3" Mini Cubes are excellent. Less than $30 a pair online. k4ia, Buck K3s# 11497 Honor Roll 8B DXCC EasyWayHamBooks.com On 4/23/2021 7:23 PM, Jim Sheldon wrote: Don, you’re right on about those West Mountain Com Speakers. I’ve had a pair

I bought a couple of 6X9 Jensen speakers with whizzer cones at Best Buy years ago along with some rectangular fuzzy boxes that are designed to mount them. These speakers used to be the ones that were the rear seat speaker in the GM cars in the 60's. They sound great and I use them wired as stereo

Don, you’re right on about those West Mountain Com Speakers. I’ve had a pair on my K3S since day one and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. My wife got me a second pair and I use them with my KX2 when I’m operating on my back deck. Sure makes the KX2’s receiver sound super good. Jim, W0EB
