[Elecraft] KX2 temperature

[Gary Memory]

I guess I misspoke.  I have boxes and boxes of "heat sinks" that I've
collected thru the years.  I use them all the time.  I'm constantly looking
on eBay for a size or two, for a given project, almost on a monthly basis.

I had no idea that after-market heat sinks existed specifically for the
KX2.  And they look very nice as well!  But again, I've never thought to
look until I saw this thread.

My sincere apologies.

Gary, N7BRJ
