[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink

[k2ud at roadrunner.com]

Of all of the aftermarket KX3 heatsinks, the VE7FMN has the most surface area and mass- read that, it will be the coolest albiet heaviest heatsink you can add to the rig.  I have one on mine, run RTTY and PSK31 a lot and never notice much in the way of heat at all with the heatsink.

Look at http://VE7FMN.CA for more info.

The KXPA100, while warm, appears to be okay.  Should I consider purchasing a heat sink for the the KX3? If so, what products in your opinion are the best?

Thanks,JimW7JHR
