[Elecraft] K3 Front Panel

[Don Wilhelm]

Right after a cold startup, the temperature of both the Front Panel and 
the PA temperature should be close to the room ambient which should be 
close to 23 degC (assuming a room temperature of 73 degF). The 
temperature will increase from there.

73,
Don W3FPR
