[KX3] speaker volume - what are my options

[kevino z]

I find my KX3 speaker volume too low. Besides headphones, what are my options? Are folks using external powered speakers ? I tried one suggested on the reflector or yahoo a few weeks ago, but it sounded horrible. Why is the KX3 speaker so low?
I checked that the attenuator is off. I checked that RF volume was maxed. I checked the antenna was matched with the tuner. The volume is still too low.
Any ideas to make the volume louder, even when at my home QTH (i.e. where power is not a challenge)?

Thanks

Kevin,

Get good amplified speakers that do not respond to RF.  I find the
COMSPKR by West Mountain Radio to fit that need nicely.
