Ditto on the West Mountain Radio COMspkr. Ordered a pair after reading reviews here on the forum and after installation, it took about 5 seconds to hear the difference over my computer speakers. My other speakers had RFI on certain bands, but these have no RFI on all the HF bands with the KPA500 ru

I also have the West Mountain Radio COMspkr and agree it is absolutely clear and free of interference. If I turn on my external computer speakers (creature speakers hooked to my iMac) then I can hear a loud buzz whenever I key down from those creature speakers but absolutely nothing from the CO

Amplified computer speakers have been a problem for me. They are not well screened for RF and on occasion I have had bad feedback problems. Eliminating the amplified speakers solved the feedback problem. Unamplified speakers work fine and audio is adequate without external amp with smaller efficie

I use the Sounds Sweet. It has gotten a bit pricey but it has the advantage of cutting down on the high frequencies. This helps the "noisy receiver" issues that occupied so much bandwidth over the past few days. (Please do not take this as an invitation to beat that dead horse any more!)

The AF Output mod had been made to (at least) two of the K3's that suffered the audio output IC failure, mine included. Perhaps the mod only "helps" and that's why the problem took months to come to failure. My board is slightly scorched, and the IC "burned up" on another board. The audio IC

Does anyone know the impedance range of the external speakers for the K3? 4 ohms to 16 ohms ought to work fine. 4 ohms will give you the loudest audio since the amplifier is having to work directly from the 12V supply. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft
