Yep! I'm sitting here listening to a Drake right now with an Optimus
powered speaker from Radio Shack.

Works great. Most any powered speaker should work fine, not just RS.
I went to their site to give you page info and had to click whether to
allow or deny cookie setting about - well too many - times! If you have
your security settings very high you may want to find another site!

Do any of you have any recomendations on an appropriate speaker for my R-8?
I've heard from some the the new inexpensive computer speakers are a good
alternate to an expensive ICOM or Yeasu communication receiver speaker. Any
opinions?
