Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and Heatsink

When I bought my used KX3 there was a Windcamp heat sink installed. I have not much experience with high duty modes on full power because I can use the KXPA100 when power is a critical factor. But I think this solution is sufficcient, too. But it mostly is offered along with two side handles

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and Heatsink

I added a heat sink to my KX3 a few years ago since I use it with long "key-down" digital modes such as wsjt-x (primarily on 6m). I obtained the heat sink from VE7FMN and it installed easily. Later Elecraft came out with its version which I bought (but have not installed). Being a thin

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and Heatsink

Thanks all for the replies. I'll probably stick with the factory installed one, as I do have the 100 watt amp which I'll use if I need higher power. Thanks, w8lvn On Tue, Jun 14, 2022 at 5:24 AM Rich WC3T wrote: > I have the latest revision stock heat sink and nary a thermal issue. > Ever. >

Elecraft version, but I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if it could match the performance of a well designed heat sink such as these. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/cooler-kx-plus-heatsink-for-elecraft-kx3-installation-video.179532/ Tim On Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 8:21 PM Jim Brown wrote

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and Heatsink

Bill, If you run 12 watts on AM, FM and digital then the supplied heatsink (assuming it is the newer heatsink the wraps around the bottom of the KX3) then it should be adequate. If you want to run the full 15 watts on those modes, I would suggest adding the Pro Audio Engineering heatsink for

Folks: I have a recently-purchased KX3 that includes the Elecraft-supplied heat sink. Is there any opinion of this does an adequate job compared to the ProAudio one? Thanks, -- --w8lvn-- __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] KX3 Affordable Heatsink

Johnny I too am using one of John's KB8UHN heatsinks. My first impression is the quality and price. I opted for the unpainted version and I like the way it matches the KX3 lettering and contrasts the black. I have not used it in heavy digital transmitting but this weekend. It fits well with my
