[Elecraft] KX3 - The rectangular hole on the back of KX3
Hi everybody, I have KX3-F with Serial #029. I have also the same question; what is the empty rectangular hole on the back of my KX3 which I can see the inside of the KX3 clearly? Is my KX3 missing the rear heat sink? Do I need to do something for that? 73, Ruchan Ozatay, TA2AH __ 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

It would appear that the heat sink was added after the first several production units went out. I would wonder whether the early models have the holes in the bottom cover to accept the heat sink? If not, a bottom cover would be needed also. To be sure, I would ask this question when corresponding with Elecraft. I would also ask if longer screws are needed for the PA transistors.

No change to the bottom cover, Bruce. The heat sink mounts using the four holes that are already present: one at each end and two for the transistors. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- It would appear that the heat sink was added after the first several production units went out.
