[AMRadio] Two-Prong Receptacle on back of Globe Champ 350

[Kimberly Elmore]

OK Jim, will do this evening when I get home. My Dad certainly added the fan on 
his own many years ago -- I remember him doing it. I think the receptacle has 
been there since the beginning, though: he had no Greenlee punches to make such 
an opening and it is clearly punched as is the one below it for the rx muting 
line connector. It would be *very* tight to get a punch in there with all the 
other components in place.

Can you take a picture of the connector and send to me?  I am not sure 
what kind of connector you are talking about but may recognize it  Send 
it direct to the email address in the header of this message.

That is probably something your dad did to help with cooling.  The 
factory 350 did not have anything like that on the back.  It really 
isn't needed for operation if you keep in mind the design specs for it 
is about 10 mins on and 20 mins. off.  Adding a fan will extend the 
transmit time and help shorten the receive time.
