Hi Phil
The times you would need a heatsink is when running PSK31, RTTY, AM and FM.
These are all continuous duty and make the KX3 produce heat faster than it can
be dissipated. I tend to rag chew on PSK31 so I added the large heat sink by
VE7FMN to my KX3. I had to run a 3 inch fan before to

Fred and I haven't formed a joint partnership yet, so you have a heatsink from
one or the other of us! lolol
Both do the job vis-a-vis JT65 with differing attributes otherwise.
Cheers!

When do you need the heatsink? Is this primarily for DATA modes?
I use my KX3 at 10 watts when in the shack and I use it portable at 5 watts or
10 watts when I carry along my external Li battery packs.
I have never noticed any overheating and I believe that it is because I don't
do any DATA
It is useful for any mode with high average power, usually data, AM, or FM.
