Of all of the aftermarket KX3 heatsinks, the VE7FMN has the most surface area and mass- read that, it will be the coolest albiet heaviest heatsink you can add to the rig. I have one on mine, run RTTY and PSK31 a lot and never notice much in the way of heat at all with the heatsink.
Look at http://VE7FMN.CA for more info. 72 Howard Kraus, K2UD ---- Jim Ruff via Elecraft <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > I've been doing a lot of FT-8 using my KX3 and my KXPA100 at 20 watts, and > have noticed that the KX3 is heating up quite a bit and is almost hot to the > touch.
