Bill,

Yes, I agree. We had a phone station at Field Day where the operator used his own rig with an internal speaker (I think it was an Icom), and the sound was so grating to my ears that I thought about cutting his coax! I don't know how the operator deciphered the calls and reports.
That is a "to be fixed" situation for next year's Field Day.

I was at the CW station where we used headphones with the internal speaker turned up only enough to let others nearby hear what was going on, and it sounded OK, but not great. I should have brought my external speakers for the K3 CW station.

73,

Don, you make me laugh. Internal speakers are a joke - never heard one, since the 50s when I got started in radio, worth listening to. Why they don't just leave it at a SPKR jack and a PHONES jack is beyond me.
