I bought a Pyle Pro PT2 from Amazon new for abt $50 - works great with the Flex 5K, a pair of Sony Speakers. Now I have a real volume control knob.

The PTA2 is small and about the size of the old RS stereo amp that Dick mentions below and works very well. Even though the speakers are oldish, they still sound great. I've had no problem with RF or hash with this setup. You can read about the PTA2 here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/itemdetail.asp?model=PTA2 By the way, I feed the audio from three radios (Flex-3000, TM-D710 and PSR-600 scanner)into a Behringer Micromix MX-400 very small format mixer (http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/MX400.aspx), and feed the output of the mixer into the PTA2. Works great! 73, Bill AB4BJ http://www.ab4bj.com Quoting "Richard W. Solomon" <w1...@earthlink.net>: > Radio Shack sold a small Stereo Amplifier that appears on the > "evil empire" every so often.
