Hi,I have a KX3 in the 600 s/n range. There was a enlarged heatsink kit for radio's under 7500 s/n which doubled the time for the PA's to cut back. It's still listed on Elecraft's web site. Easy to install, no soldering. 73Jim HK7sss In a message dated 3/27/2020 8:39:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, st...@kj5t.net writes:
It does sound like the KX2/KX3 are pretty tough little radios. I had heard of some heatsink issues in earlier KX3s, not sure if that is true or not. It sounds like 61C is fine. For the record the time that it got that hot running 10 watts was SSB and I was doing a continual (recorded) CQ. I only run digital modes at 5 watts or less. Again I appreciate all the feedback, I have KX2 number 617, bought it in June 2016 but it sadly it gets neglected at times, doing a bit more FT8/FT4 though now, especially since i am stuck at my apartment. 73 de KJ5T ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
