Luke Thanks - just what I needed to know! Have you tried JT9 ? Perhaps some sort of heatsink/handles added to the case might help?? 73 Dan VA3MA

I used to have a KX3 and sold it because it wouldn't decode WSPR between transmit cycles due to excessive drift. I've kept the KX2 to <5 watts because the right sideplate gets very hot with the high duty cycle. I've actually just been sitting here running JT65 @ 10 watts when I got your email, and it is doing pretty well. I had 3 back to back QSO's and on the last transmission the PA Temp got up to 47C (~117F) which doesn't seem too bad. As it cools off there is no drifting or slanting of signals on the waterfall either. I think the 1 minute on/off duty cycle of JT65 is very doable with the KX2, and WSPR might be pushing it. The other night the sideplate got quite hot running WSPR at 5 watts.
