[Elecraft] K3 Fans with the 100w kit.

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Scott was mistaken. All K3s pull air in through the top, across the PA heat sink, and blow it out the rear.

OK, thanks Willis.  I asked "Scott" at Elecraft and
he said his (at the shop) was flowing out the top.
It's hard to tell without a "flag" near the input-outputs.

 The same way yours is.  The air is supposed to flow out the back.
