[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink

[k1szo at k1szo.com]

Hi Jim,

I recently purchased my KX3 and intend on doing a lot of digital modes.  
I looked into 3rd party heatsinks, but was notified that Elecraft uses a 
new improved heatsink that wraps around the bottom of the KX3.

So my question to you is, do you have the newer KX3 Elecraft heatsink or 
the older model?  I was going to work mine first to see how hot it gets 
before making a move if the newer heatsink is acceptable.   I can't find 
any reviews of it.

I will definitely be watching this thread to figure out if I too want to 
purchase the 3rd party Pro Audio Engineering KX32 Ultimate Heatsink as a 
replacement.

Regards,
David ~ K1SZO
