New external speaker for K3

[Ramon Tristani-2]

I got tired of waiting for Elecraft to come up with a good external speaker for the K3. So I bought a TenTec model 307B, 4 ohm speaker. It sounds fantastic. The enclosure is black just like the K3’s. Oh but it features the Ten Tec logo on the front that looks like an abomination to Elecraft fans like me! I wonder… since Elecraft does not want to make a speaker, would they make a logo to hide the Ten Tec’s one? Just kidding… but who knows? May be they decide to purchase them from TT at a discount and rebrand them Elecraft. Just an idea...

Question?   Is this speaker as sensitive for CW side tones as the internal one?

I myself would not want Elecraft to spend one second developing a product
that is already available elsewhere. To really make use of the K3's
abilities you want stereo speakers and ones with Bose on the front do the
job very nicely!

The K3 speaker issue comes up from time to time.  Why not just buy the stock K3 speaker and make a nice box for it.  Play with the baffle a bit and it would probably sound pretty good.  I think the issue with the built in speaker is its vertical orientation and poor enclosure.

Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers work quire well with the K3. Plenty on ebay.

I don't know who made these for RS, but they were very popular in their
day among audio pros as a reasonably good small speaker.

If I recall correctly, there two versions of the Minimus 7's. One was a
wood case and the other a nice, heavy, metal case. I always felt the
metal cased variety was a better speaker.

I used them for casual monitoring in a radio station production room.
