Mike,
That problem sounds a bit like the Calibration of the Reference
Oscillator is off a bit. See tha manual and use the Zero-Beating method
as instructed.
There is a chance it will help, but no harm if it does not.
If you did not get the paper manual, download it from Elecraft.

base of Q1 (on the top of the board) and insert a 1k resistor across the
trace cut.
That will calm ALC problems with the KSB2, and otherwise will do no harm.

Phil,
You may want to check out the Behringer mixers even though they may have
more inputs than you need. I don't know if any of the inputs support
Bluetooth natively.
They are low in price and work well.

I can't on the Win

I know that the T1 can’t be used to tune an antenna above 6 meters, but can

Order the new knob from Elecraft - they no longer have the older knob.
With the new knob, you need 3 fiber washers stacked.

Since the K3 has stereo output, I suggest you look at the West Mountain
Radio ComSpeakers. They do a good job.
My K3 had 2 Radio Shack mini speakers on it, and the KX3 uses the
ComSpeakers. Great in all respects.

The original poster asked about plugging in both the speakers
Yes, They call it ComSpkr and it is priced at $39.95.
It is a pair of "computer" speakers, but it is shielded so it does not
buzz when RF is present.

Carter,
Do you also have VOX active? With both PTT and VOX on, that will happen.

I highly recommend that you get the proper screws from Elecraft to be
certain they are the correct length.
Hardware store screw are normally not available in black, so why mess up
the appearance of your KX2 with zinc plated screws.
