Having now used my KX3 on numerous portable SOTA activations, it does
seem overheating is going to be an issue when outside temperatures
rise. Yesterday I operated from Monserate Mtn in Southern California.
There was no shade on the peak, air temps were probably pushing up into
the low eighties and there as little shade or breeze. After an hour's
operation the radio was running very warm and it was no surprise when it
started backing it's power down. Going into summer I see many days of
similar conditions and I'm looking for solutions to keep the radio
cooler when operating portable. Any thoughts on heatsinks, shade
covers, little fans, third-party add-ons would be greatly appreciated.
