My FP temperature rose from 18 C to 35 C in a three-hour test yesterday. 
I don't believe the fans came on but not sure as I can't hear them. When
ever I look at them they are not running. The PA temp rose from 17 C to 25 C
over the same period. (I may have transmitted a short SSB period, can't
remember).
So I am wondering at what temperature the fans come on and where that
temperature is measured.
