[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink
Hi Jim, I purchased the PRO-Audio KX31 heat sink for my KX3. After looking at the available designs at the time, the choices were narrowed to two. The KX31, and VE7 designs. The larger ultimate KX32 and VE7,nor the improved Elecraft designs were available at the time. The deciding reason I chose the KX31 over the available VE7 design was aesthetic. I liked the “rounding over” of the dissipating fins and that the tool access to the mounting screws were on centers that did not cut through any fins. The differences between the cost negligible, and performance, are extremely small. 73 de Ben W4SC __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink
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.

[Elecraft] KX3 Heat Sink Improved and Now Shipping -- Easy Retrofit to Existing KX3's
Hi all, In response to feedback from KX3 users, we have improved the transceiver's heat sink, without significantly changing its outside dimensions. The new heat sink has twice the surface area and much greater mass, using an 'L' configuration that places part of the heat sink underneath the rig's chassis. A high-performance, die-cut thermal gasket is used between the rear panel and heat sink to ensure excellent heat transfer. Our lab tests show that for a given power output level, the new heat sink provides up to twice as much transmit time as the original before power is automatically scaled back under firmware control. (Larger, third-party heat sinks can still be used, if desired, to allow extended operation in data modes at full power, or at very high ambient temperatures.) The new heat sink is already included in production KX3s, starting with S/N 7292 for kits, and S/N 7255 for factory assembled units. It can be easily added to existing KX3s using modification kit model #KX3HSKIT ($39.95). Refer to our Spare Parts and Mod Kits page, KX3 section: http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#kx3 If demand is high for modification kits, there may be a brief delay in filling orders. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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
[Elecraft] KX3 heat sink
Hello elecrafters, I have recently purchased a KX3 heat sink from John KB8UHN. Product is very nice and well fit to my KX3. The price was about USD40. His contact is good at http://www.qrz.com/ I have no business connection with him but am just a happy user. For details, could you please contact him direct? You may also wish to advise him whether you are going to install the Side KK panel as well so that the heat sink will well fit the dimension. Just a piece of information to the group and I do not want to be involved in any business debates. 73 Johnny VR2XMC __ 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
[Elecraft] KX3 Heat sink from Fred Meier, VE7FMN
Received Fred’s heat sink yesterday and installed it on the KX3 today. Beautifully done and fits like a glove. It took about 10 minutes to install and the powder coat finish matches the radio nicely, and all covers still fit nicely. Thank for a great job Fred.
