Also, look at the distortion spec. on these cheapo amps! It's an

You will hear this and the audio will be fatiguing to listen to. Why
waste the nice low distortion audio recovery of the Flex on a lousy
audio amp?
Spend enough to get a low distortion stereo amp and with some decent
speakers or headphones you will have a system better than anything
else out there.
I could never understand why all the Yeacomwood radios and most others
as well, spent a significant effort in the design of the RF and IF
chain for decent dynamic range and low IMD and then blow in in a
crappy 10% distortion audio output stage...

Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Small cheap mono amp to drive speakers?
The output on the FLEX-5000 is stereo. I don't recommend going the
mono route. Grounding or floating one channel is not recommended.
Also using a mono output eliminates one of the coolest features;
being able to listen to the RX in a true binaural mode by listening
to the I and Q channels in separate ears.
