I tried a few portable stereo speakers with subwoofers for iPods etc.. they work well for me - reasonable price (not cheap) and very nice sound - I ended up using the 'Edifier MP100' - they are powered and a little vol control on top of one of the speakers - which allows you to tailor your sound more. 73 John VE3NFK

I have a choice of two speakers that work very well. I power the K3 through a 100 watt amplifier to two book case speakers on the wall, pointed at me. I also have he Wet Mountain radio's COMSpkr's that are under a 100.00 and really work well and sound exceptional. Google West Mountain radio. I believe they are around 50 bucks.

"R":
For me, the best choice was a couple Motorola UNamplified Mobile speakers from EBay. I managed to find a matching pair of NEW speakers for $10 + shipping. You'll want TWO (2) speakers so you can take full advantage of the AFX features of the K3. My particular speakers were model HSN4018B, but I have several others which appear to be identical save for a possibly different color, which show model HSN4000A. They work great and I like having the removable mounting mounting bracket as well. Note: You could use the AMPLIFIED Motorola mobile speakers as well (lots of modification info for these on my web site at www.n0ss.net), but you really don't need the 5W-15W of amplified audio unless you're in a really noisy location. Additionally, any time you use an amplified speaker you always run the chance of getting RFI into the audio lines of the speaker... not a fun problem to have to find/fix. 73, Tom Hammond N0Ss At 10:38 04/04/2009, you wrote: >I'm using an old car stereo door speaker now.

I had a pair of FT-2000's with matching speakers. I sold the 2000's and
kept the speakers. They work pretty well. Mike CC Packet Cluster W0MU-1 W0MU.NET or 67.40.148.194 "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over."

<> Any one tell me the source for a good speaker for the K3? I'm using the West Mountain Radio "COMspkr"s and like them a lot. Reasonably priced, small enclosures, RFI resistant and allow you to enjoy the K3 AFX effects. ...

Tom Hammond's advice was spot on. I tried three different speakers pairs....and the best ones were the Motorola speakers.

The N0SS suggested unamplified Motorola speakers are very good if you can find them at a reasonable price. If you can't ... or don't want to go fleamarket shopping there are two other options I've found to be very reasonable ... Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com) has a pair of 3-way Indoor/Outdoor speakers (3 1/2" "bookshelf" speakers) - Insignia SP3Way - for about $30 a pair. I believe they are WA6HHQ's choice ... Best Buy and Radio Shack both carry the Sony 5 1/4" two-way bookshelf speakers - Model SSB-1000 - for around $50.00. I picked up the Sony pair on sale at the local Radio shack for around $25 about a year ago. Both the Insignia and Sony are unamplified so there is no issue with RFI and no need for external power supplies. They also provide a nice "uncolored" frequency response compared to most of the small "communications" speakers. 73, ...

I'm using a pair of Optimus PRO 7AVs. These work well and the look of the black, all metal case matches the K3 very nicely. I have a spare pair for sale for %50.00 shipped CONUS. Please contact off list if interested.
