[Elecraft] [KX3] KX3 Heat Sink Improved and Now Shipping

[Phil Wheeler]

Ed, can you mount the combo? As I recall I had to 
remove the original plate on my KX3 to mount 
Fred's heat sink.

This aspect of the new Elecraft approach "A 
high-performance, die-cut thermal gasket is used 
between the rear panel and heat sink to ensure 
excellent heat transfer" is most interesting.

Your comparisons of the Cooler-KX vs. the new 
Elecraft heat sink will be very interesting!
