KX3 amplified mobile speaker

[Gary Gregory-2]

Does anyone use an external amplified speaker in a mobile installation with
the KX3?

A search so far has found BHI speakers but these are DSP speakers which I
don't require.

Hi Gary,

The Chill Pill speakers are one handy choice for portable use with the KX3.
They are very small and light, convenient to pack, self powered, and sound
very good. Currently, they are shown at $33.50, so are not the cheapest,
though they are very good quality.

Thye also make a small microphone that might be suitable for KX3 HT
portable operation.

YMMV

Be VERY careful when you use the external speakers!  I was using my KX3
with a small HOME brand speaker system for an iPod; I had the level
adjusted to a moderate level, but had a noise burst.  The system
(radio/external speaker) was silenced.  I unplugged the HOME speaker,
and the audio was OK in the KX3.  I disassembled the Home speaker,
decided to get a new audio amp as a repair, as the unit was going to be
too hard to justify the effort.  I found a small amp on good old eBay,
which I just received TODAY!

My point is that this is a great idea, but just be aware of the
possibility of overload.  I have no idea if my issue is an isolated
case, or not.
