Don, some other considerations: 1). What about the other components inside the XV? If the power module is happy running at 100C what does that do for everything else in the XV running at 60-70C with no airflow?
2). My ambient temp in the shack during EME is 80F even with the house A/C running due to the tube PA. 3). Does the XV144 run at the same efficiency (waste heat output) as the XV50? Thanks for your assistance. I look forward to your measurements. 73 Eric WD6DBM Sent from my iPhone On Jun 3, 2010, at 9:02 PM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: Johnny, Prior to testing, I have reviewed the datasheet for the RA30H0608M module that is used in the XV50. The power module is specified to operate within spec at 110 degrees C ( 230 deg F). While that is too hot to touch (in excess of boiling water temperatures), it is well within the device specifications.
