[Elecraft] Right side runs warmer after KRX3 install

[Brett Howard]

One other stupid question... In prep for FD I decided to do some TX
tests...  I found that the radio starts limiting power output and giving
HI CUR messages around 66 to 68C PA TEMP.  I recall Eric stating that
the rig would be fine to 85C.  Is this HI CUR message normal at this
range?  I'm transmitting into a 50 ohm load that is capable of 100 watts
continuous and transmitting at 100 watts.

Thanks
