Hi list,
I have run into some minor problems regarding
temperature rises with the mentioned devices and like
your opinion/solution.
1st, the KPA100. I noticed that even when I only
answer some CQs in a contest (CW) the fins get very
hot - of course the little fan fights it. Not to speak
of CQing myself. This is only possible with another
fan on top. (I admit that I didn't dare not using this
additional fan).
2nd, and here it's really bad - or let's say
inconvenient at least. The XV144 shuts down after a
few CQs in CW at 20W - operating in normal room
temperature. Since the cooling is done on the bottom
and there are no fins I expect it not to be too easy
to cool it.
What are your experiences/solutions? What can be done
without two additional fans (and wires and weight)? Or
can a small fan be added to the XV like in the KPA100?
