Jim I'll endorse your experience with the installation PAE's excellent heatsink for the KX2. I jumped into that operation with a Swiss Army knife and a set of forceps at the hotel while at Dayton hamvention. Holding on the two washers, nut and bolt simultaneously in a confined space is playing "Twister" with your fingers! That said, I love the kit - combined with the Lexan cover, the kit is both functional and attractive. Fun to get an installation challenge from time to time!! /Rod VA3ON

Surely some of the astute among you _know_ The Perfect Method, and I hope you will share? To complete the OT-ness of this msg, I recently completed the QRP Labs Ultimate WSPR/QRSS kit and re-learned the joys of soldering iron burns, again. Certainly nothing wrong with Hans' excellent kits, and the price is amazing for the functionality, design, and quality. Then I installed the PAE heat sink end panels on my KX2. The latter is not for the faint of heart! I STRONGLY recommend the somewhat buried hint in PAE's instructions to remove the AT board before attaching the PA transistors to the heat sink. Tried it the other way and re-discovered that my micromanipulation skills are right up there with my CW -- maybe better, which is damned depressing. So, any help mastering Morse?
