[Elecraft] PA temperature

[David Herring]

Someone in the know can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read somewhere where the PA in the K3 is FB until around 65C.

In normal use, I can't imagine what one would have to do to get their PA that hot.  Maybe if the fans failed or airflow was otherwise blocked?  Aside from that, I can't imagine we'd need to worry about it.

73 and Aloha,
