I never understood why Elecraft put out the PDF file as white text on a
black background in the first place. It can't be printed, and if you
have to read it online the html version makes more sense. It just seems
lazy to me for them not to have converted it on their end.

I expect he meant “existed for the KX2/KX3”.
The Heathkit SB-230 is conduction-cooled with a beryllium oxide thermal link to
conduct heat away from the anode to the heat sink.

I guess I misspoke. I have boxes and boxes of "heat sinks" that I've
collected thru the years. I use them all the time. I'm constantly looking
on eBay for a size or two, for a given project, almost on a monthly basis.
I had no idea that after-market heat sinks existed specifically for the
KX2.

Heat sinks have been widely used since the introduction of
semi-conductors in the '50s. I don't know, but I suspect that they were
used with high power tube gear. They are discussed in Chapter 4.11 of
the ARRL
In your print dialog box look for "print background" and make it unchecked. You
could then print a white background as well as "print as a pdf." At least
that's how it works on a Mac OS.

Looks like a good idea, but I'm guessing the radio will no longer fit in
its case. I ordered a set of heat sinks to try 'em out.
My process to deal with the heat is perty much what Brian said.
Thanks for the thread! I learn,

Good Evening,
The weather vane switched directions, winds from the ocean instead of
from the smoke filled valleys. Cooler, with clouds most mornings.
Temperatures have moderated to the mid 60s.
Earlier today I saw a tan patch on the far side of my land. It

I believe the trip temp. is 60c. The rate you get there, of course, depends a
lot on power setting, mode and ambient temperature. I’ve found at normal shack
ambient I can cycle FT8 pretty quickly at 7 watts. But I always monitor PA TEMP
and back it down if necessary. At the beach with a 55f
Team:
I discovered that the KX2 will trip out if its temperature gets too high.
Clearly, this is a good thing. I am considering getting the heat sinks for
the side. I now run with the temperature displayed.
My question in relation to this is: is there a fixed temperature that it
will trip out
