Yes, BUT -- they come with switch-mode power supplies, which will add RF
noise to your receiver.

Yes, in some cases ... but mine (two) are powered by the same 12VDC buss as
everything else in the station.

While no longer available, the X-Mini UNO self-powered speaker is Lion powered and good for up to 18 hours of use. It has lasted a whole weekend with the KX3 and charged from my solar panel via USB port when not in use. Oh well,

That's a great solution. I do the same with everything in the shack,
including computer video monitors.

Re: Powered Speaker for KX1

Jim,
It seems like most of the larger displays are 19V. At least mine are. My
one smaller screen is 12V. I have powered it from the station power. Are
your monitors only 12V? If not how are you powering them from your station
power

73,

Re: Powered Speaker for KX1

Yes, they are. Samsung made some 24-in displays that run on a nominal
14VDC, and they run fine on 12V. Costco was selling them for a while,
and as recently as two weeks ago, was selling a 24-in lower-resolution
Samsung TV that runs on 14V. Like many things, you've gotta do a lot of
looking around to find these things. :) One place to look is the photos
or specs on the Samsung website.
