Re: [Flexradio] What amplified speakers are good- with sub?
This thread is basically useless. Different speakers for different folks. Here is a REALLY good suggestion. Make sure you can take them back if you do not like em. I originally bought the Bose Companion speakers which Flex recommended and some here seem to like. Like most Bose speakers they were terrible . No highs, no lows, yep gotta be Bose. Got my money back and got M-audio AV-30 from Best Buy. These are really sweet on my Flex 5000. These are under $100 and put the Bose Companions to shame. Remember, buy from a place you can get your money back if you do not like em.

Re: [Flexradio] What amplified speakers are good?
I just picked up a pair of Cyber Acoustics CA2992 amplified speakers at Fry's for $19.95. These are 8W/chan 2-way speakers with two inputs. They sound great on the F3K and are loud enough to fill the classroom when I am giving a demonstration and want all the kids to be able to hear. *MUCH* better than the built-in amp in the K2 we were using. I use the second input to plug in our 2M rig when we are using that. No EMI that I have been able to discern. For $20 I don't think you are likely to beat them. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] What amplified speakers are good- with sub?
Sheldon, As Tim mentioned, using a "Y" cable may cause issues. What I do is feed the PWR SPKR OUT from my FLEX-5000A to the Line In jack on my PC's soundcard. Then my PC speakers are used for both the radio & the PC audio. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] What amplified speakers are good- with sub?
Yeah, but unfortunately you still have the same ground loop dilemma with that configuration too. It is still best to electrically isolate the second source. You do not want stray currents flowing through the speakers, especially if they are high frequency (RF). -Tim -Original Message- From: gafenw...@att.net [mailto:gafenw...@att.net] Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 11:20 AM To: Tim Ellison; Sheldon Hartling; 'Dr. J Roth'; 'Flex Radio' Subject: Re: [Flexradio] What amplified speakers are good- with sub?

Re: [Flexradio] What amplified speakers are good?
Creative speakers use a 28 VDC switching power supply. When I transmit on certain frequencies, it fails. The audio dies and the power indicator on the speaker and the power supply flashes on and off. There is a popping sound. When I go back to receive - everything's OK. I am considering going to a linear power supply for 28 VDC. I have tried to contact Creative, following instructions on their web page, but they have not responded. Edwin Marzan wrote: No issues that I know of. What have you heard?
