A non air flow thought I had: I wonder if adding
external finned heat sinks under the two bolts
holding the PA transistors to the existing heat
sink would have any appreciable effect. The other
thought I've had is putting some heat sink
compound, like Arctic Silver 5, between those
transistors and the panel they mount to, in order
to improve heat conduction (though it seems
Elecraft would have included this in be build if
beneficial).
