More neat stuff to do with your SRF-59. Unless you're out shopping, jogging, or laying in bed, headphones are all too frequently not fun to use.
I have a Realistic SP-150 Communications speaker that is rated for 8 ohms, 2 watts of input power. Of course, it uses the 1/4" jack, but I made a patch cord to convert from 1/4" to 1/8", plugged it into the SRF-59 and voila, I have sound. Another alternative would be to cut off the old plug and wire the 1/8" size in it's place A couple of cautions: The speaker is mono, so I'm not sure if I'm picking up both channels or just one. Also, don't expect ear-splitting volume. Although I have a preference for the SP-150 (which sometimes shows up on eBay) I would think that most CB/Ham radio external speakers would also work just well. Just some more fuel for thought from a happy owner. 73 de Joe Miller, KJ8O, Troy, MI ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
