[AMRadio] R-390 heat and covers...

[Rick]

Thanks Bob and Geoff. I will certainly follow this advice. I hope to hear
more later today about the fan setup. I have the TM but guess I overlooked
the part about the covers. I had already planned on using a small fan on the
Ranger even though it isn't rack mounted.

This is especially true for the pair of regulator tubes at the bottom 
left rear of the R-390 chassis.

...I copied Roy on my last reply.  Hopefully he'll chime in later, he 
usually does fairly late in the day.
