Using a KX2 with an SP3 external speaker ?

[Phil Hystad-3]

So far, I have mostly used my KX2 with headphones but I just acquired the KXPA100 100-watt amplifier so will be using the KX2 plus KXPA100 for a backup base station.  And, I think I want to use an external speaker.  Preferably my  Elecraft SP3.

I understand that the KX2 requires the Headphones output to be amplified for use with something like the SP3.  Has anyone built their own little audio amp or maybe just purchased one for using with the SP3?

Or, any other ideas would be welcome as well.

Phil,

I use a little 7W mono amp from MCM electronics that gives plenty of punch
into a small comms speaker.
I've tried it with the SP3 also - works just fine. I also use one with my
KX3 on my 10/24GHz portable rig.

It's part number 809077 at MCM here

Phil,

I use the West Mountain Radio COMspkr.  They are modestly priced stereo
speakers and are "RF proof".  The stereo pair allows listening to both
sides when Dual RX is turned on and you are operating SPLIT.
