Keep in mind that the requirement is not onerous. A typical "hi-fi" speaker
is NOT needed since the KX3, like all communications receivers, is severely
restricts both the high and low frequency audio response.
The speaker only needs to reproduce the range from about 300 to 2800 Hz

The specifications are great and unlike most consumer grade products are

When away from home, I use an elbow 90 degrees plastic pipe fitting over the
speaker opening.
It provides very good sound.

I know for a fact that average homes of the late 40's through early
60's were considerably smaller than common
I would disagree on the size. I have a book Weyrhauser put out in the early
1950s for people to choose plans from to build a house. The sizes ranged from
600 to 1100 square feet. Try to find houses that small being built today. Two

Hi Gary,
It all depends on what one is willing to pay for, and how well it fits
the application versus other solutions.
You will get no argument from me on speakers versus xcvr performance,
but there is room for a lot of opinions in this world. :)

The matching speaker for the Yaesu FTdx9000 (we all now how much they cost)
is expensive. Is it better than the two internal speakers in the
transceiver?...not really was my opinion. Even the FTdx900 with two
internal speakers was not great.

I see many gorgeous "shacks" and they probably are a joy to

I think it was an excellent choice.
As the party responsible for the K3's speaker selection and orientation, I
