Gentlemen: As most of you suggested I bought a MFJ 281 speaker ($9.95
plus shipping) to use with my Omni V. It does require either a plug to
convert their 1/8 " plug to a 1/4" mono phono plug, or it's a simple
matter to solder on a 1/4" plug. I just put it on top of the rig
(padded) and it works fine on CW-sounds roughly the same as my earphones.
It's a definite improvement over the 961 ps speaker.The improvement on
SSB (yeah I had to listen) , is even more noticeable. This was a good
choice for me. I see no reason at this time to enclose it, but this may
offer some improvement. For those of you who like a deep thump on their
CW, the suggestion of using the audio output jack on the rear of the
rig-through an amp to a large speaker may be the way to go. Many thanks
to all those who replied- as usual with this group- rapid and workable
solutions to problems. Charlie K0GPF
