Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Speakers for K3

2013-04-23 Thread Mike Rodgers
Most are satisfied with small speakers and some like the big 8-12 ones that 
seem to cut some of the high frequency hiss. 

It's not one size fits all and even a particular speaker size is not a one size 
fits all. I can see where a speaker enclosure that matches would be desirable 
for a lot of folks where you could install your preferred speaker. 
Look at how many $200 speakers with filters have been sold by the big3 to match 
their radios. 

I've used small ones, a kenwood one and currently using an old classroom public 
address speaker. It seems the large ones are hard to find around here. 

I've also finally got rid of my hiss/roar/frying bacon with the addition of a 
external equalizer and mainly pushing the 3.5 slider of the unit to -4 to -6db. 
(3.2 on k3 @-16). 
RFI was a bit of a problem for my close antenna.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Speakers for K3

I use 2 of the Yeasu MLS100 speakers thru a stereo adapter into the back
speaker jack of the K3. They are small, black and I think nice looking in
the K Line equipped shack, Main receiver on the left, sub receiver on the
right or both on with sub receiver off. Work very well in my opinion, and
only $49.00 each at AES...
