I'm glad they (West Mountain speakers) worked for you. Mine were just
about as bad as the cheap $10 pair they replaced. Then they just died.
Computer speaks are always hit or miss. I've found Logitech, even the
cheap ones, are decent. But there's only so much any tiny amp can
handle. I actually found a pair of super efficient non-amplified
speakers meant to work off a headphone output. Not a lot of volume. But
a lot more than the built-in.
I also built a small speaker enclosure using a plastic utility box with
2 1.25" Mylar speakers driven by one of the now highly common tiny
amplifier boards. I shielded and beaded everything. Works great and a
fun little project.

KX3 (WU6R)

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 like about them is the bright blue LED. I have
mine covered with tape.

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 KPA-100 connected to a KPA-500. Has anyone found a high quality powered
speaker to connect to the KX3 that doesn’t distort when transmitting?
