KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

Im sure that all of us have been experimenting with trying to select a good external speaker for the KX3.

I have tried the Iphone "bubble speakers" both in mono and stereo. The crackling and static sounds were hard on my ears. In searching my junk box i noticed a "Clear Speaker" from West Mountain. Yes it is a powered DSP speaker but the fidelity is superb, quiet, no more harsh static sounds. I run my KX3 with a small power supply so getting power to the speaker was a not a problem.
I can tell the difference is remarkable. It is 1/2 the size of the radio but the sound is soothing to the HAM ears! I recommend highly.

Re: KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

Although I'm not a real fan of Bose products I highly recommend the Bose Companion powered speakers. About $ 70 at Sam's Club as I recall. I found out about these from the Flex reflector. They sound very nice and are RF bulletproof. Have 2 inputs as well. Have my KX-2 on one and a TS-590S on the other. 2 thumbs up !
BTW-I bought a pair of the West Mountains for my next door neighbor who was hearing me on his computer. They worked but broke after a year. My Bose have been going strong for maybe 3 years now. Spend a couple more bucks and buy the Bose.

Re: KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

I will chime in on my support of the Bose companions as well, they work great, and have been using them with my K3 for years, and now my K3/0 & Remote rig . They do require power so may not be the best portable solution for the KX3, I have some little battery powered ones for field use but for the shack they are "da bomb".

Re: KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

Logitech has a stereo speaker that works great. It is meant for the IPAD but it fits Rose's case perfect (does not take up much room) and works in stereo so you can hear the subreceiver when working split. Once charged - runs for a long time on internal battery. Charged via USB. A USB port on a DC distribution box will keep it running indefinitely.

Re: KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

I use this same setup it works very well with my KX3 and my iPad. It takes
up very little room in my KX3 case and will last a long time. It can be
charged using a cigar/USB adapter in car if needed.

Re: KX3 external speaker suggestion> West Mountain Clear Speaker DSP powered

Thanks for the info guys.

Any chance you could say which models from Bose or Logitech?

For example, over here in the UK there are at least five different Bose "Companion" speakers. None as cheap as $70 - the cheapest being around $120. The most expensive over $400!!

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys.

Any chance you could say which models from Bose or Logitech?

For example, over here in the UK there are at least five different Bose "Companion" speakers. None as cheap as $70 - the cheapest being around $120. The most expensive over $400!!

Thanks

Wayne's suggestion was one of the Chill Pill Speaker sets. Compact,
and not too expensive. Amazon has them.

I have that exact model... and it works nicely with my KX3... and my
iPad, too. Connection is via a 3.5mm TRS plug. Works with virtually
all MP3 players, or items with a stereo earphone port... like KX3. :)

Gotta second Wayne & Ray's suggestion. Bought a set of the Chill Pill speakers and haven't looked back. Packed up they are light and compact and set up they give plenty of audio. You can set them far enough apart that you can use Dual Watch with VFO A on the left and VFO B on the right just like the K3 and bust pileups to your heart's content.

It may have been the "Chill Pill" speakers. They are designed for the
iPod, but work well with the KX3 or K3.
