[Flexradio] Monitor Speakers

Just got a new 6300 and so far so good! I do need to buy a pair of computer monitor speakers. Any suggestions? I'm always concerned about RF getting into them and have not been all together happy with the WestMountain radio pair that I have. Rick, W2JAZ

The monitor speakers from Bose work great (From Target). However you must use isolation transformers to de couple the RF. Clamp on chokes are not enough. (Companion® 2 Series III multimedia speaker system ) about 99.00 from target. --- David P. Mitchell N5PSM http://www.arrl.org/BLD02ZU1.ht

Agree, Bose Companion II speakers work well -- excellent audio. I have no RF issues. Also available via Amazon. Proper station grounding is essential to minimize rf issues. 73, Dave, W7IWW On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 9:46 AM, David P Mitchell wrote: > The monitor speakers from Bose work great (Fr

I have, use, and like the Bose spkrs too and the only RF issue with them is my cell phone gets into them when it swaps bits with the tower every so often when I'm not talking on that phone. This is within just a few feet phone to spkrs. Patrick NJ5G On 4/15/2015 10:52 AM, Dave Movius wrote

Use what you wish, but I have done very well with inexpensive computer speakers. Use the type that have a headphone input that "cuts off" the speakers (usually available even on the cheapest ones). I use inexpensive headphones also. Flex allows me to equalize however I like anyway. WO7R On We

I had major RF on HF running my KW even with an extensive ground system. Adding type 31 mix ferrite snap on beads eliminated the problem. Put them on each speaker cable as close to the computer or radio as possible withe at least 5-8 turns on the bead. I also have the West Mountain speakers a

Charles, yes you would need a speaker amp.. The Flex radios do not include a built in speaker amp. Al, K0VM On 4/16/2015 12:00 PM, flexradio-requ...@flex-radio.biz wrote: Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 00:07:16 -0400 From: Charles Reiche To: FlexRadio Reflector Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Monitor

I use my stereo amp and speakers. If the station is properly grounded, there is no RF. A mixer equalizer is used ahead of the stereo amp. All my radios feed the mixer. It's amazing how much better the rigs sound witha low distortion audio and big speakers. Bob K8MLM Sent fyrom my iPhone >
