I use the RCA 40-5000, that rectangular "black box" with the black
steel-mesh grille that Radio Shack has sold forever under one name or another. Works fine. Think I paid $19.00 for it. Oh really? Sounds like that one link I saw that selld these shortwave/scanner/cb speakers.......they're pretty nice. I guess you don't need BIG for good sound. :-) |

I've been using those same speakers for "surround" on the home theater for
six years. They are solid performers, with frequency response and power ratings greater than needed for rear channels. In other words....perfect! -- Stinger "Gray Shockley" wrote in message .com...

I called my favorite RadioShack "associate" last night and asked her to find another one for me. Now I've got to find a place that'll make the enclosures - in new apartment don't have any access to any tools at all - (our son+wife on the chicken farm down in Brookhaven are getting a great deal from our "have to get rid of").

STARMAN,
"Has anyone found a good replacement speaker for the OEM one in the R75? What size is the original one?" NOTE: The Icom IC-R75's 'exterior' Speaker Grill is very small and ONLY Measures 1.75" Wide by 2.25" High. My "Guess-A-Mate" is the Speaker is basic 1.5" Round. ! ! !

Howard wrote: DX, While not a boatanchor owner I will share what I found when needing an external speaker for an R75 (yes, with an R75 an external speaker is a MUST). Tried a 4" RatShack widerange speaker (Optimus XTS 3, 7 watt max) and it was okay; definitely enough powerr to drive and it gave sufficient volume & clarity, mostly mid-range with moderately more bass response than treble. Then for kicks hooked to a KLH 911 (5 inch woofer, 1 inch tweeter, 100 watt max) and WOW! Yes, the speaker is capable of handling much more power than the R75 offers but there was sufficient power to drive it without having to crank up the audio. The sound clarity was greatly improved and unless the bands are really noisy most folks who hear it don't realize they're listening to shortwave - "Naah, it sounds to good to come from far away" 8-} Do keep in mind that the answer to this will vary depending on the speaker; some just plain like to "suck watts" in order to get their cones moving.

STARMAN,
NP2 = Not Practical -and/or- Not Possible Due to the Icom IC-R75's Layout and Construction the (built-in) Internal 1.5" Speaker: Is What It Is [.] FWIW: A Modification that 'added' an Internal Speaker under the Top Cover may be possible and practical. But, the 'better' "Option" with the Icom IC-R75 is simply using an External Speaker that's style and color matches the appearance of the Icom IC-R75. jm2cw ~ RHF .. .. = = = starman = = = wrote in message ...
