[Elecraft] KX2 go-box

2018-04-09 Thread John Harper
For digi operation, I'd agree with you. For casual CW/SSB, even at 10
watts, highly unlikely.

Another box with the heatsink enclosed in a space with no ventilation.
It looks neat, but it is a great way to cook those power transistors.

He mentions on the web site that the final version will likely have 
vents and forced air cooling.

He does beautiful work. I don't have any desire to make my KX2 larger 
but some of the things he does give me a few ideas on how I might make a 
sleaker looking home for the KX2 when it's at home on my desk lashed up 
to the KXPA100, key, speakers, etc.

What about cooling of the heatsink?

Or is the unit just for "show"?
