[Elecraft] XV-144 heat

[eric norris]

This is odd because I drive my XV-144 with 1 mw as well, but at 10W output in digitial mode (1 min tx, 1 min rx) it gets way too hot to survive without a fan.  I have one screwed to the shelf it sits on that blows air under the XV-144.  Inelegant, but effective.  I would like to see a fan retrofit kit as well, perhaps inside the top cover that would draw air through the unit and exhuast it out the top.
