[Elecraft] K3 powers off when after several minutes of 12W carrier

[N2TK, Tony]

Anything special about the thermal pads they recommend or the placement of
the pads? Is there anything on the Elecraft site I missed on this?
Tnx
N2TK, Tony

For folks who run lots of high duty cycle modes, Elecraft is now
recommending 'thermal pads' between the LPA transistors and the bottom
cover. I found this out when I was doing some mods to my 10yo K3 and the
instructions said to install them and I didn't have 'em. You can get them
from Elecraft, not expensive.
