[Elecraft] KX3 and Digital Modea

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

I have yet to encounter a "thermal shutdown". The only time I had a 
power fallback was in France during an extended CW QSO with my brother 
at an ambient temperature of 31 degrees Celsius.
I did the temp. calibration by the way.
KX3 nr 3244. Never whispered with it, I have a dedicated TX for that 
with 100 mW output. Has been reported in YB, VK and ZL amongst many 
others on 20 metres using a 2x20m dipole with open line.

Cheers, Peter
