Larry,
Seems strange that this came up after your rig was sitting but I will
tell you about my experiences with a toasty PA
I have not ever seen the message PA Hot but I certainly have noticed the
PA getting hot and in a couple of instances cause the rig to shut
down/reboot. I
Larry,
In the past, I have seen several reports of the erroneous PA HOT message
behavior - it seems to me that it typically happens during a portable
operating situation - perhaps caused by some mysterious power glitch or
something like that. I really don't know the reason behind this loss

... read the temperature (convert to deg. C if the reading is in deg. F) and
enter that value into the CAL tPA menu parameter.

Hi Larry:
I've gotten the PA HOT warning when my K2/100 was in the car and had
been left outside on a less-than 40-degree F night!
The problem, in my case, was that the firmware (unfortunately, I can't
recall the version number, but it was relatively new) wasn't able to
account for REALLY LOW
There is also the conversion I use because I never can remember when and
where to add or subtract 32 degrees without thinking about it.
Both scales coincide at -40 degrees, so simply add 40 degrees to the
temperature to start with, then multiply by 5/9 or 9/5 depending on
whether you are

The way I remember is that the freezing point of water
is zero degrees C and 32 degrees F - and
Easier than that - Work in :
Degrees
Metres
Litres
Euros
Way to go.

Was the case exposed to sun heating during the operating period? A dark
case, or any non reflective painted case, can develop quite a bit of heat
from sun exposure even in mild weather. That coupled with high duty cycle
of FD might have triggered the hi temp condition.

If anyone remembers their Physics 101 Painted Tin
Can experiment - one painted light, and one painted
dark - the K3 will naturally be an internally hot
rig, on field days. In Physics 101 class - the
can painted black - took on like 20% more internal
heat, than did the can painted light. Heat
once I get it in Grey. :-))
