Hi Barry, My 2 cents! A 100 watt Micor lofts along regardless of temp. If you can stand it, so can a Micor. Not all of us have 72 degree air conditioned, clean rooms! If your PA has the BIG heatsink, its continuous duty, the mobile heatsink need some cooling because they are only rated

I put a VHF repeater together this summer in a Stromberg Carlson cabinet that the phone company retired and had to install a fan in the top of the cabinet to get the heat removed. The cabinet was insulated with one inch foam on top, bottom, sides and doors. It was a side-by-side rack cabnet with
