KX3 - The rectangular hole on the back of KX3

[Ruchan Ozatay]

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

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.
