Re: [Elecraft] K3 external speaker
I tried a few portable stereo speakers with subwoofers for iPods etc.. they work well for me - reasonable price (not cheap) and very nice sound - I ended up using the 'Edifier MP100' - they are powered and a little vol control on top of one of the speakers - which allows you to tailor your sound more. 73 John VE3NFK I'm using an old car stereo door speaker now.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 external speaker
"R": For me, the best choice was a couple Motorola UNamplified Mobile speakers from EBay. I managed to find a matching pair of NEW speakers for $10 + shipping. You'll want TWO (2) speakers so you can take full advantage of the AFX features of the K3. My particular speakers were model HSN4018B, but I have several others which appear to be identical save for a possibly different color, which show model HSN4000A. They work great and I like having the removable mounting mounting bracket as well. Note: You could use the AMPLIFIED Motorola mobile speakers as well (lots of modification info for these on my web site at www.n0ss.net), but you really don't need the 5W-15W of amplified audio unless you're in a really noisy location. Additionally, any time you use an amplified speaker you always run the chance of getting RFI into the audio lines of the speaker... not a fun problem to have to find/fix. 73, Tom HammondN0Ss At 10:38 04/04/2009, you wrote: >I'm using an old car stereo door speaker now.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 external speaker
The N0SS suggested unamplified Motorola speakers are very good if you can find them at a reasonable price. If you can't ... or don't want to go fleamarket shopping there are two other options I've found to be very reasonable ... Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com) has a pair of 3-way Indoor/Outdoor speakers (3 1/2" "bookshelf" speakers) - Insignia SP3Way - for about $30 a pair. I believe they are WA6HHQ's choice ... Best Buy and Radio Shack both carry the Sony 5 1/4" two-way bookshelf speakers - Model SSB-1000 - for around $50.00. I picked up the Sony pair on sale at the local Radio shack for around $25 about a year ago. Both the Insignia and Sony are unamplified so there is no issue with RFI and no need for external power supplies. They also provide a nice "uncolored" frequency response compared to most of the small "communications" speakers. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] k3 external speaker mono v stereo plug
The mod is NOT needed if you have a Rev B KIO3 board in your K3. It's easy to see the rev letter on your board by simply opening the top cover. Details about how to do that are available in the mod document here: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/AF_Output_Mod_Rev_C.pdf Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Ken, Thank you for your warning but I am now wondering if it applies to later SN K3s. Mine is number 2574 and sure enough I have been using a mono-plug but in the Config Menu under SPKRS 1 has been selected. The manual indicates a preference for stereo plugs but clearly states, "If you only have a mono plug, set CONFIG:SPKRS to 1 to disable right-channel audio." A comment from Elecrafter might be in order to fully clear this matter up. In the meantime my external speaker is out until a stereo plug is wired.

Re: [Elecraft] k3 external speaker mono v stereo plug
Doug, others ... If you -do- have a situation where the audio IC is looking into a shorted load and still working ... remember, mine and another ran for months before the audio IC failed. With your radio turned on, remove the top cover and look inside at the extreme left top corner of the board closest to the shield. Note if there is discoloration of the edge of the board above the large IC and / or stick your finger in and touch the IC. Sniff the area for the tell-tale smell of hot glass epoxy circuit board. If it is like mine you'll test your reaction time, as the IC will most likely be far too hot to touch. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] k3 external speaker mono v stereo plug
Jim, It is better to use the approximate ship date posted on the Elecraft website listing of K3 Mods and Enhancements. There can be a serial number differences between the factory ship K3s and the kit versions - the factory built K3 are at the factory longer after the serial number has been assigned, so the ship date is a better reference. OTOH, it is a simple matter to remove the top cover and look at the board. 73, Don W3FPR Jim Miller KG0KP wrote: > Does somebody have an approximate serial number when the erferenced "Rev B" > KIO3 bd began to be used? > > Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP > > __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
