[Elecraft] KX3 and Heatsink

I added a heat sink to my KX3 a few years ago since I use it with long 
"key-down" digital modes such as wsjt-x (primarily on 6m).

I obtained the heat sink from VE7FMN and it installed easily.  Later 
Elecraft came out with its version which I bought (but have not 
installed).  Being a thin metal plate didn't seem comparable in heat 
conduction to the die-cast aluminum unit with cooling fins.  I tried 
finding VE7FMN's product and domain name is not registered so guessing 
he quit making them.
