My first K3 (which had every option but the KRX3 fitted) I owned used to
regularly go to over 50 degrees C on the FP temperature with no ill
effects and on more than a couple of occasions it went to over 65 degrees,
it then shut down due to the heat.

container with a coupla windows cut into it.)

I've seen it get as high as 40 C on a really hot day. This won't hurt
anything.

I noticed today that the front panel of my K3/100 SN 1502 with the
newer DSP
board seems much warmer to the touch than before. With the rig on and
having not transmitted for over an hour the PA temp is 30C while the FP
temp
is 34C. Room temp is 22.7C. I have never seen this before. The rig is
working fine as far as I can tell. I recently loaded the latest Beta
firmware 4.83 but otherwise have made no changes. Have I just not
noticed
in the over five and a half years I've owned the rig or should I worry
about
this?
Or am I just getting old and can't remember? :)
