I wonder what's different ... if anything ... in our K3's?

Mine's been on about 15 hours and the FP temperature
is 33C.  A digital thermometer on the desk beside the
radio shows the ambient temperature is 21C.

I -do- have the 2nd receiver installed. and in operation.

I haven't transmitted other than an occasional CW ID
on 6M.  The PA TEMP shows 29C.

These temps seem lower than what some are reporting.
As in my last posting, the fans rarely turn on.
