Shane, you will probably find external speakers transform the quality of the K3. I am using a cheap pair of HiFi book shelf speakers that cost under 20 GBP and it sounds great on local AM broadcast stations using no RX EQ and 6 KHz IF filter. In side by side comparisons with a Perseus SDR and fairly cheap PC speakers on my PC, the K3 sounds much better, with the internal K3 speaker the opposite was the case. The speakers I am using are from a UK high street chain store, www.argos.co.uk and stock number 513/6113.
You might want to try a pair of speakers, as the pseudo stereo effect of AFX is amazing. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 ----------------- Relative to my 1983 Kenwood R-2000 (http://www.rigpix.com/kenwood/r2000.htm), my K3 sounds awful when listening to any AM broadcast stations. I have the 6KHz and 12KHz filters installed and despite widening the AM IF bandwidth to 10KHz and spending many hours fussing about with the RX EQ, I cannot make the K3 to sound even remotely enjoyable.
