I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the K3 will automatically reduce power as needed if the PA gets too hot. We've never been able to get one that hot under normal operating conditions (including 100W key down for 10 Minutes.)

The FP temp is more of a general ambient temp inside the K3 and is only used for reference oscillator temperature compensation. Its not something that will 'overheat'.

It is nice that we have a display of the PA and FP temp but can anyone comment on what the normal parameters might be? At what point should one become alarmed? It doesn't do much good to have the readout if one doesn't know how to interpret it.
