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

[Don Wilhelm]

Tony,

Unless you have a very old K3, the thermal pads should already be in 
place.  Remove the rear bottom panel to see if they are present.

The thermal conductivity of the pads is the important parameter.  Get 
the correct thermal pads from Elecraft, they are effective p/n E700002 - 
Adhesive Thermal pads TO220 size.  They are easy to apply.
