WA3WSJ: KX1 Mini Speaker

[WA3WSJ]

Hello all,

I've been playing around with adding a speaker to my KX1.
I think I've found a great little speaker that works pretty good.
As I type this, I'm copying a cw signal and it sounds fine.

The speaker measures 1.38" x .634" x .29". I just soldered the speaker
on to a 3.5mm stereo plug and then put a small screen over the front it
to protect the speaker.

I now can just plug-in my speaker to listen without headphones. I'll
have pictures on my website soon.

If anyone is interested in a KX1 Speaker Kit, send me an email. If
there's enough interest, I'll make up a kit that should cost around
$10.00

72,
Ed,WA3WSJ

Interesting idea.  I think I have one of those speakers.  I'm going to
try mounting it in a small metal utility box that, with rubber feet,
should be about the same height as the KX-1.  If I can get the phone
plug mounted in the right place it would plug right in. Conceivable to
even put an lm380 type amp in there with a couple of AA batteries.  But
first, see if there is enough energy the way it is.
