K2 volume

[George]

I am very hard of hearing. Is there a way to increase the  volume in this
radio. My K1 is much louder.

George,

The available audio from the K2 is not as much as for the K1.  The K1
has an extra audio stage.
If you have to run the AF Gain on the K2 to maximum, then I would
suggest that you use an external amplifier.  Some amplified computer
speakers will do the job fine, while others pick up RF and make strange
noises when transmitting.
Normally the Motorola Amplified communications speakers are a good
choice.  Tom Hammond N0SS has a number of mods for these speakers on his
website www.n0ss.net.
