Re: [Elecraft] KX2 in FT8 mode - heat? (Barry N1EU)

I wonder how stable is the KX2 in digital modes? My KX3 with the temperature compensation carried out was inadequate when running wspr at 5 watts output. However, this was before Elecraft introduced the improved heat sink. Rob G3RCE On Nov 24, 2017 13:23, "Howard Hoyt" wrote:
