[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink

Hi Jim, I purchased the PRO-Audio KX31 heat sink for my KX3. After looking at the available designs at the time, the choices were narrowed to two. The KX31, and VE7 designs. The larger ultimate KX32 and VE7,nor the improved Elecraft designs were available at the time. The deciding reason I

David, The new heat sink roughly doubled key-down time in our lab tests. I’d suggest you try it as-is before investing in a third-party heat sink. I use RTTY at full power on my KX3 with just the new stock heat sink and have never had an issue. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Aug 4, 2017, at 2:08 PM,

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink

Hi Jim, I recently purchased my KX3 and intend on doing a lot of digital modes. I looked into 3rd party heatsinks, but was notified that Elecraft uses a new improved heatsink that wraps around the bottom of the KX3. So my question to you is, do you have the newer KX3 Elecraft heatsink or

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink

Of all of the aftermarket KX3 heatsinks, the VE7FMN has the most surface area and mass- read that, it will be the coolest albiet heaviest heatsink you can add to the rig. I have one on mine, run RTTY and PSK31 a lot and never notice much in the way of heat at all with the heatsink. Look at

[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink

I've been doing a lot of FT-8 using my KX3 and my KXPA100 at 20 watts, and have noticed that the KX3 is heating up quite a bit and is almost hot to the touch.  The KXPA100, while warm, appears to be okay.  Should I consider purchasing a heat sink for the the KX3? If so, what products in your

[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink Improved and Now Shipping -- Easy Retrofit to Existing KX3's

Hi all, In response to feedback from KX3 users, we have improved the transceiver's heat sink, without significantly changing its outside dimensions. The new heat sink has twice the surface area and much greater mass, using an 'L' configuration that places part of the heat sink underneath the

Wayne, it doesn't sound like the KX3 heat sink addition will impact Rose's covers or cases and Scott's end plates or front cover. Can you confirm? A photo on the website might save the staff time in the long run. (:-) 73 Ken Kopp - K0PP

[Elecraft] KX3 Heat sink from Fred Meier, VE7FMN

Received Fred’s heat sink yesterday and installed it on the KX3 today. Beautifully done and fits like a glove. It took about 10 minutes to install and the powder coat finish matches the radio nicely, and all covers still fit nicely. Thank for a great job Fred. Now I’ll try to do some thermal
