This is fairly typical. I’ve seen some as high as 8 minutes. Some tips related to PA temperature: - Make sure all right-side hardware is tightened - Running from a lower supply voltage (e.g., the 11 V internal battery) should reduce power dissipation - Keep the radio out of direct sunlight when possible - In contests, use hunt-and-pounce operation, not continuous CQing (this tip applies to QRP operation in general; listen more than you transmit) Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
