[Elecraft] KPA 500 QUERY

[Bob]

Well after a month I finally opened the box and got the manuals out in 
anticipation of starting to assemble the kit.  Looks straight forward and easy 
to assemble.

However one thing did strike me as odd in the assembly.  It was the lack of any 
heat sink compound on the IC's on the Power Supply Module and Rectifier board 
assembly.    Other than cost and the possible mess is there any reason why it 
would NOT be desirable to use some on these devices?


Any interest in a soon to be retired AL811 amp and QSK5 unit out there?   If so 
reply off list.
