K3 Speaker question

Gene O
Several days ago I posted a question regarding setting the time and
about speakers not turning off.

I got the time straightened out.  When plugging in the headphones the
speaker that turns off is the one in the K3 _not _the external Bose
speakers I have hooked up.

Thanks to all that responded.

Gene, W2BXR

Re: K3 Speaker question

Hi Gene,
Your reply below begs the question:  How do you have the Bose speakers
hooked up?  The manual page 20 (Rev D6) says when you plug in external
speakers it cuts off the internal speaker.  They are referring to the
SPKRS 3.5mm jack on the rear of the K3.  If the Bose speakers are using
some other audio output, i.e. LINE OUT, then they won't be cut off with
the SPKR+PH = NO menu setting.

My K3 works exactly as the manual says.  I'm using the rear SPKRS jack
for external stereo speakers.  I use LINE OUT for digital modes via a
sound card.  I use the SPKR+PH menu set to YES or NO as conditions
dictate and have that toggle set up on the PF1 button.  I keep a headset
connected full time to the rear PHONES and MIC jacks with nothing
plugged into the front panel.  The internal speaker is not used at all.

Hope this helps...
