[Elecraft] K144XV

[Mike Harris]

I see no reference in the parts list of the K144XV to thermal pads. 
Neither is there any reference that I have read to thermal pads in the 
installation instructions.

Sure, heatsink compound, carelessly applied, can be messy but given 
there is an oft reported issue with heat and the K144XV it seems, unless 
there are thermal pads somewhere hidden in the procedure, compound 
between the aluminium slab wall of the K144XV and the K3 side panel 
might be a something worth trying.
