I have just received the controversial KX3 heatsink, end plates and Perspex (Plexiglas) cover from an eBay advertiser purporting to be in China. I realise there have been derogatory comments on here about this seller's product, but nevertheless I would like to tell you about it.
The black finish and lettering match perfectly to the KX3 itself and the Perspex cover is strong and fits well. The heatsink also fits perfectly. All pieces are fixed using the existing KX3 screws. A small pack of thermal compound is also supplied with a plastic application tool. To sum up, I have no complaints whatsoever. And now the best bit... The whole lot cost me 68.88ukp with free shipping. (I see they are currently being sold at 65.44ukp.) The package was evidently dispatched from Belgium. Consequently, as a country in the European Community there were no customs, VAT or administration charges to pay. Yes, I would have liked to have bought these from the original USA developers. But the additional customs charges and shipping costs to Great Britain would have been prohibitive. So, anyone in the UK or Europe, go for it. You will not be disappointed. 73 de David G4DMP -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
