Icom SP-20 Speakers

[Bill Henderson]

Hi

I'm new to the K3 having only just finished sticking the bits together.

Can I use my (mono) IC-20 speaker with the K3? I see that there have been issues in the past and that new K3s carry the fix already done. Do I need change the plug to a stereo one  or is it safe to use the fitted mono plug?

I'm terrified that it will go belly up. If this happens I won't be able to replace it.

Bill,

Although the fix has been implemented and tested, I do not like to see
any amp output continuously shorted.  I would opt to install the stereo
plug, or if you prefer, make up an adapter.

Thanks Don.

I think that'll I'll go the adaptor route.
