David,

Nothing is simpler than a thermal switch.  I bought a #317-1094-ND
thermoswitch from Digi-Key that closes at 50 degrees C (122 degrees F)
that fills the bill perfectly, for just $9.  I drilled and tapped two
holes on one of the radio's heat sink fins, and mounted the switch with
a dab of heat-sink compound under it to ensure good heat flow.  During
heavy usage of the repeater, the muffin fan runs for a few minutes- but
only when needed.
