[Elecraft] XV50 cooling

[n0jrn]

Evening gang:

Just got home from work and reading my male.    I looked at the manual for 
the XV432 to see how the internal fan is mounted and how it was hooked up. 
It really doesn't look like much of a task to modify my XV50 and install 
such a fan.

I contacted sales and was told the vented panels are not available.  As much 
as I hate drilling my own panels  ( don't like messing up the paint )   I 
see very little challenge in copying what Elecraft did with the 432 version.

I will wait Don, to hear the results of your tests before doing anything.

73 to all;             Jerry         N0JRN
