Ron, there is a test report on our website showing the difference between stock Elecraft and our Kx31 heatsink at:
https://proaudioeng.com/products/pae-kx31-heatsink-kit/

Click on the 'Testing' tab to read the procedure and results.  We calculated there is twice as much heat generated by the PX3's PA running at 10-12W than the maximum amount which can be convectively removed from ANY heatsink that fits on the top of rig.  This being stated, we have many JT65 contesters who use our heatsink successfully.
