OT: West Mountain Radios Comm Speakers

Edward R Cole
I can testify they work.  I have moderate RFI on 6m-20m getting into
the old HK computer speakers I used; my wife had RFI in her computer
speakers and still has some in her portable AM/FM radio.  WMR
speakers on her computer and for my KX3 eliminated the RFI for
them.  I run 125w on 6m and up to 275w on HF with either KX3 or
K3.  My triband beam is 50-feet directly over the shack.  6m antenna
is at 23 feet on the same tower.

If your WMR speakers still pickup RF then you have a serious problem
such as common-mode or ground problems.  Are you running QRO with
antennas way too close the shack?

They work for some people, just not me.  They're nice speakers and sound
great.  But they are no better at RFI suppression than anything else
I've tried.
