Guy said it well. I'm a member of the Northern California Contest Club, one of the largest. Our members probably own at least 100 K3s. I own two. My neighbor K6XX owns four, and is a very sharp engineer who works for Elecraft. He says the the K3 is very well protected, and that there is no heat problem. Several of our members were early beta testers. Many of our members, especially those owning K3s, are very agressive contesters -- that is, we transmit a lot. Some contests require that we run barefoot, including several RTTY contests. W0YK is one of our more agressive members, a world champion RTTY contester, and an early beta tester. His response to this thread, before he hurried off to Dayton, was the same as Guy's -- there is no heat problem. He should know. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
