[Elecraft] K3 PA Temp

[Hector Padron]

It seems that your PA temp is too high,mine I run it all the time on CW at 100W and at high speeds over 40 wpm and the maximun temp I see is 36C.
You should check why is so high.

Playing around in the RTTY RU after a full effort in NAQP CW yesterday. 
  PA temp @100W gets up to about 56C while CQ'ing, so I backed off to 
80W.  Anyone know how hot is too hot?
