After nearly 3 years of operation of my Flex 3000 - mainly using digital
modes - I have come to believe that my radio cannot handle full tx power
using high duty cycle modes such as Olivia etc - In my climate (summer
time temps up tp 40c) the radio is not capable of cooling adequately at
any more than approximately 30 to 40 percent of full output and even
this level will take PA temps to 80c and above - I now believe that it
is imperative that the PA temp is permanently displayed on the GUI and
not require operator intervention to display it Surely it is just a
small request to have this displayed when one considers the visual
benefits of having it displayed with a colour code to indicate critical
temperatures Owners Manual version 1.18.0 states as follows---- The
keyboard combination of Ctl-Shift-I will display the voltage and
temperature. Clicking on the temperature will alternate its value
between Celsius or Fahrenheit. Either value may be displayed against a
yellow or red background indicating levels of critically ----- I HAVE
NEVER -EVER -SEEN THIS FEATURE WORK - Certainly would be nice to see the
powers that be relent and accede to this request
I have no objection to having voltage and temperature readings displayed
permanently (although I seldom use the Ctrl-Shift-I popup) as long as a
convenient location can be found. My suggested location is (if it is
technically possible; i.e., not violating some Windows programming
rules) on the right-hand end of the menu bar.
BTW, I was not aware of the option to choose between Celsius and
Fahrenheit temperature display in the current popup, but I found that it
works but sometimes with a slight delay.
