[Elecraft] Power on PSK31 for k2/100

[Charles Greene]

Hi All,

I was in a long winded QSO this PM, and I noticed the heat sink on my 
K2/100 got rather warm, with the fan on high.   I couldn't keep my hand on 
it, and as an old steam engineer, that indicates greater than 140 deg F to 
me.   I was running 30 watts, so my power meter and also the RF meter on 
the K2 said.  The SWR on the antenna is 1:1 and I was using a Z11 tuner so 
the K2 said 1:1 too.  So I question whether this power is good for the 
K2/100?  What do you other PSKers run the K2/100 at?  Meanwhile, I have 
reduced power to 20 watts.  I'm sure no one will notice.
