You can also tweak the way this function works by the configuration menu to suit your tastes. This function activates a DSP audio effect that simulates stereo reception. One interesting feature that can be activated with either stereo headphones or external speakers is the "Audio Effects" function that is activated by the AFX button on the front panel. You have no problems achieving more than enough volume with either mono or stereo headphones. The headphone volume is a stark contrast to the speaker output. A good powered stereo speaker set would obviously solve this. While not generally an issue, I have had a few weak stations that I needed to put on headphones to copy well. The K3 is generally fine, but you do have to crank up the volume knob to a much higher level to get the same output level and you can never achieve the maximum volume levels that the other rigs are capable of. Both of the other two rigs have a MUCH wider volume range, including total output volume over the K3. Listening to the same station on the same antenna, I can switch between the three rigs and observe the output volume range.

I currently have the K3 hooked up beside the two other rigs I mentioned earlier (Icom 746 Pro and Yaesu FT-897D) with the speakers outputs running into the W2IHY iPlus so I can switch all three rigs between the Icom SP-21 speaker. I saw some complaints about the speaker output volume on the Elecraft mail list, so I decided to do some tests for myself. I use the term "reasonable" because the overall output volume range of this rig is fairly low compared to any other rig I've used. I've learned that this rig is fairly sensitive to the impedance of the main speaker that is used and wants something around 8 ohms impedance to obtain a reasonable output volume. This is important! I know someone who learned the hard way by using a mono speaker while the rig was set to "stereo" and they shorted out the speaker PA!

First a warning: The manual comes with a paper insert that warns you about setting the speaker configuration to stereo or mono. Since I'm discussing RX functionality, this makes for a good spot to talk about the main speaker output. The KBPF3 coupled with the built-in 8 band RX EQ and a decent set of stereo speakers makes for a very nice AM listening station. My Icom 746 Pro will not receive the AM broadcast band at all, however the Yaesu FT-897d does. The other nice feature that it enables is the ability to listen to the broadcast AM band.

I ordered the KBPF3 General Band Pass Filter option because I'm a Navy MARS operator and you need it to allow for RX on many of the frequencies that MARS uses.
