I put a ProAudioEngineering heatsink on my KX3. Can’t comment on the Windcamp stuff.
The Elecraft enhanced heatsink comes off relatively easily if you use some heat. PAE recommends a hair dryer. I used my heat gun from a large enough distance not to overheat the powder coat finish on the KX3. Just warm it up slowly and the adhesive will soften. It will still require some manual labor — I used one of my plastic iPhone pry tools to work it off and prevent case damage. > Have a Windcamp kit: side panels, clear covers, canvas bag, and heatsink. > I'm very pleased with the side panels, covers, and bag.
