can you get a better speaker for this handheld? I am sure it is operating properly but I have to run it at 3/4 volume. Just checking to see if any aftermarket's are available. I really don't want to use one on the speaker jack.

How about a speaker mic? I don't have a current Knwd HT but I used to use the Knwd commercial grade speaker mics on mine. The last Knwd HT I had was a TH-D7A and the commercial mics worked great with it.
Thanks, I got the same suggestion to use a speaker mic from kenwood.
The volume levels are fine. I was just thinking a speaker with a stronger magnet may help.

Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
