After replacing the phone jack on my K2, I have been searching for a really good external speaker. One that allows me to use my headphones and mute the speaker when doing so. Well, I had an old Kenwood SP-180 speaker that I had replaced a bad speaker in with a 4 ohm speaker designed for Collins. This particular equipment has audio filters and accepts a 1/4 inch stereo headphone jack. I cleaned it up and it has been in line now for over an hour. The audio filters really help with CW in QRN and smooth out really strong signals that otherwise had a harsh note as they were tuned across. P49V is on 40 meters and is about 40 over S9 and is smooth as silk. The 1/4 inch headphone jack will help, too, as that is what is on the K3 I have ordered (due in early July).
I just wanted to pass this along as one can find the old Kenwood speakers for nearly nothing online or at hamfests and they will help K2 audio. 73, Jim, K4ZMV -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Excellent-External-Speaker-for-K2-tp16108823p16108823.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
