I’m interested in getting a nice stereo speaker for my K3 so I can listen to both of my rx’s at the same time without having to wear cans. What can be recommended?

DO you listen to FM radio on your K3? If not, get communication speakers and not music speakers. 73, Jim KG0KP

Ronnie,
Find yourself a pair of 'bookshelf' speakers normally used for "HiFi stereo" installations. Those small speakers were popular some time ago. I picked up a pair of Radio Shack Optimus speakers in a second hand store for $5 and they work great with my K3 - those speakers are 5 inch cubes. They are not powered - just speakers, so no worry about RF getting into the amplifier. Alternately, build your own small speaker enclosure and mount a good high fidelity speaker inside (look at the audiophile sites). Get a full range speaker - the speaker should not restrict the audio frequency response, the K3 has the RX EQ which will allow you to tailor the audio response that you want to hear. With my KX3, I needed amplified speakers, and after many trials with PC speakers which howled during transmit, I 'bit the bullet' and ordered a pair of West Mountain Radio COMspkrs - shielded and nary a sound of RF feedback from them even with the KXPA100. They are a bit larger than I would like, but they do work fine. They will work great with the K3. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/21/2015 6:24 PM, [hidden email] wrote: > I’m interested in getting a nice stereo speaker for my K3 so I can listen to both of my rx’s at the same time without having to wear cans.

Small bookshelf type non amplified speakers. I don't suggest "computer
types" as they are typically amplified. I found some Radio Shack/Realistic speakers being discontinued as catalog #40-1313. They work quite nice. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 11/21/2015 5:24 PM, [hidden email] wrote: > I’m interested in getting a nice stereo speaker for my K3 so I can listen to both of my rx’s at the same time without having to wear cans.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the SP3.
I like mine. It's hard to find any mention of it on the Elecraft web site however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2EmW46zgDw Steve N4LQ On Sat, Nov 21, 2015 at 6:24 PM, <[hidden email]> wrote: > I’m interested in getting a nice stereo speaker for my K3 so I can > listen to both of my rx’s at the same time without having to wear cans. > What can be recommended? > > Thanks > > Ronnie W5SUM > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [hidden email] Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I use the Behringer MS40 amplified speakers. RF has never bothered them
(1 kW) and they have two channels of input - so you can use left/right K3 (each RX) and the other for left/right from your computer. If you want something a little less expensive, the Creative Inspire T10 amplified computer speakers do fine also and are not bothered by RF. Of course, this is my experience, nay-sayers and others my not experience the same.

Indeed true on both points. While I find the the product to be really
quite nice, based on some private or personal e-mails I've received since joining the list in July, I'd say the "people" have a long way to go in terms of quality to measure up to the company and the product. It is amazing what lurks hiding behind the keyboard. 73 Bob, K4TAX K3S s/n 10163 On 11/22/2015 5:12 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > I'm new to this list and didn't realize there were so many hateful > people.

Ronnie,
Please don't let the few bad eggs in this group color your opinion of this entire group. We've all asked questions here which were repeats of questions asked, answered, and the responses archived. I find the archives for this group to be sometimes a bit overwhelming and cumbersome to work with. It is possible to miss something that is in there. Most of the members of this group will simply either ignore the fact the question has been asked and answered, or answer the question, and then point out that you can also search the archive for previous questions/responses. And you will NEVER get a mean-spirited or nasty response from any of the Elecraft employees who monitor this list. I know I sound like a Kool-Aid drinker (I prefer to think I go head-first into the punchbowl, myself :-) ), but Eric and Wayne have gone out of their way to hire staff who are not only very knowledgeable in their particular areas, but who strive to help us poor users make sure we have the best experience possible, regardless of which piece of Elecraft gear we own. Keep posting those questions, and they'll keep getting answered properly. 73 de, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua [hidden email] 10-10 #74624, North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070 #1962 K3# 281, P3 #688, KAT500 #860, KPA500 #1468 -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of [hidden email] Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2015 6:12 AM To: [hidden email]; Bill <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Stereo Speaker for K3 Thanks for the positive responses y'all, I'll pick up some speakers soon. as for the unpositive responses off the list, dang..

Waited for a while to reply on this as "Don" gave an excellent reply as far
as speakers when he suggested the West Mountain Radio COMspkr for about $50 a pair. These work as well as some I have bought for $250 ea. from makers of different radios I have owned, "own" as these that I have used on my K3 for well over 4 yrs now.

I’m surprised no-one has mentioned the small Bose powered speakers that have been so popular on the Flex group. As an audiophile I always poo-pooed Bose products in general.
Saw them at Sam’s club for under a hundred bucks a couple years ago and figured I’d try ‘em then do a return if I wasn’t pleased. Fast forward- I now have 4 pairs of them in 2 shacks ! Small, powerful, highly RF proof, look great and you can hook up 2 radios to each set. If you have a nearby Sam’s club I’d suggest giving them a try.

Ronnie,
There are many newcomers to this list, and I for one do not mind repeating an answer to something that has been hashed over before. Sorry to hear that you have encountered some "nasty spoilsports". I may encourage newcomers to review the list archives to provide additional information, but I will never admonish a newcomer for asking a question. This is an email list, and not a FAQ listing. Back to the speakers question, Elecraft has recently released the SP3 which works great with the K3 and K3S, but if you have the KX3 in your home station, you really need amplified speakers. As I stated before, shielded speakers are a 'must' because most amplified computer speakers will 'howl' in the presence of RF (it depends on the band). At the workbench, I have that situation with my standard issue computer speakers even at 10 watts working into a dummy load. Since I know what to expect (and I am just testing at the workbench, not operating, I ignore it, but that would not be tolerated for the hamshack). If you need good shielded and amplified speakers, I can vouch for the West Mountain Radio COMspkr. It works FB with my KX3 with KXPA100. With the K3, non-amplified speakers work fine, and I will continue to use my bargain basement RS Optimus speakers. If you have the K3 or K3S and are looking for speakers, the Elecraft SP3 is a great choice (it is not an amplified speaker) and matches the K3, K3S for those who like matching components. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/22/2015 6:12 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > > Thanks for the positive responses y'all, I'll pick up some speakers soon. > > as for the unpositive responses off the list, dang..

I used 6" bookshelf speakers for several years with very good results until I got tired of the extra room they took on the desk. About a year ago I picked up a set of Pye PCB3BK 3.5" cube speakers ... a perfect size to set on either side of the "K-Line" ... for about $25 on Amazon.com. Since then, I've picked up several other pairs for my second K3 and other rigs. I like the PCB3BK because its 90 Hz - 18 KHz response is far more appropriate for "communications". They do not rumble and turn muddy with low frequency noise like the larger bookshelf speakers and/or amplified speaker systems while the high frequency response is more than enough to prevent distortion on the high end. They are efficient enough that the K3's audio amplifier is capable of creating more than 90 dBa sound levels without running into apparent distortion. 73, ...

I agree don't worry about those who complain, as I said earlier Don's suggestions were right on target on a low cost speaker for any radio.
