[Elecraft] KX3 and Heatsink

[DF3DD@darc.de]

When I bought my used KX3 there was a Windcamp heat sink installed. I have not much experience with high duty modes on full power because I can use the KXPA100 when power is a critical factor. But I think this solution is sufficcient, too. But it mostly is offered along with two side handles and a plastic cover and this set is not cheap despite the fact that it comes from china.

Some time ago I saw a DIY solution from an italian ham which is simple, affordable, and not too ugly:

And I think it will work for a KX3 when it would work for 5 CPUs.
