[Elecraft] KPA500 max heat sink temp?

[Edward R Cole]

Not a burning need, but I could see buying a KPA500 some day.

I have the K3/10 and KX3 which are both 12w output and drive my 
KXPA100, nicely.  It has the KXAT100 tuner.

If I decided to have high power on HF that might also mean an upgrade 
in HF yagi (20-10m).  I have an aged Hygain TH3mk4 which needs the 
antenna tuner to match.  Its the old trap design so might opt for a 
SteppIR or a log-periodic, both of which need no tuning.  6-dBi gain 
would be adequate, non-contester or DXer on HF.

Side Note to 6m ops:  I am now monitoring 50.313 FT8, daily (with PSK 
Reporter enabled).
