I have yet to use any internal SS radio's speaker except for an occasional test or possibly a portable set-up. They may as well leave it out as far as I'm concerned. NONE of them come anywhere close to the sound quality I get from simple outboard speakers. (Note, this does NOT include the over-priced, cheap speaker in a metal box often sold as a matching "accessory" by the big-three.) Personally, I find the recovered audio from my K3s, feeding two little computer speakers to be the best of any modern radio I have ever used. That said, it's hard to beat the audio from an old boatanchor radio with push-pull 6V6's driving a big 12" speaker cabinet.

Removing the speaker from the case resulted in very excellent audio from the built in speaker. I re-installed it and use an external speaker now (on the rare occasion I need/want external sound). It's largely a non-issue as I was surprised to find I operate most often with headphones so I can hear better. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
