Not sure about your last sentence regarding duty cycle, but if you want continuous duty I'd think you'd need an external cooling fan even at 25 watts. I use one as a remote base & never bothered with a cooling fan or changing the built-in power settings. As a remote base the duty cycle is never more than 50% (same as when the radio is used locally). I also have the ability to remotely change the power level so if traffic on the repeater did cause it to transmit more than half the time I could turn it down to low power. Bob NO6B
