[Elecraft] K3 Front Panel

[Mike Harris]

61C is not "very warm" it is too hot to touch.  How does it compare by 
finger with the other unit?  My K3 with sub RX regularly runs at 36 > 37C.

Turn the K3 off, let it cool, turn it on with the FP temp display on, 
how does it compare with room temp.

I have another K3 without the second receiver and it is very cool with a reading of 36 C for the front panel but the new one is showing 61 C.  The static PA temps compare.  Is this a normal range for the K3 with a second RX? The radio are the same other than the 2 nd RX.  Maybe some input from other users with the second RX.  73 Mike K4PI
