Elecraft KX3 Upgrades

I've decided to to some upgrades to my Elecraft KX3. These are the PA heat sink and the 4m transverter.. Got the heat sink just before Easter and have been waiting for the 4m transverter..


Received my KX3 4m module today after the Easter delays in the postal system..Excitement soon turned to sad disappointment  when it turned out to be a 2m module.. So sent it back to Walters and Stanton in Essex, now there will be a delay in fitting up the PA heat sink as well which came from from Howard Hoyt WA4PSC in North Carolina

Lightweight Aerial

Received my new ultra light weight aerial from LNR Precision in the US.. This will be my main antenna for portable/SOTA...  Its the new “EFT-10/20/40 Trail Friendly” for 10/20 and 40 meters. This aerial will complement my Elecraft KX3 very well.. It only weights 100 grams and the overall storage dimensions is 13.3 x 5cm x 6.35cm this makes it perfect for portable use.
