I have yet to encounter a "thermal shutdown". The only time I had a
power fallback was in France during an extended CW QSO with my brother
at an ambient temperature of 31 degrees Celsius.
I did the temp. calibration by the way.
KX3 nr 3244. Never whispered with it, I have a dedicated TX for that
with 100 mW output. Has been reported in YB, VK and ZL amongst many
others on 20 metres using a 2x20m dipole with open line.
Cheers, Peter

.I tried my KX3 on digi modes and gave it up for this reason. I could run my
FT-817 all day,but can't get 5 minutes from the KX3 at 5w..heck,I've even
had mine shut down running ssb on 6m outside in the summer.
Only "cure" I found was to run about 1 watt or less
