[Elecraft] [K3] PA Temp at Room Temp

[Joel Black]

How far away from room temperature should my PA be if I'm just receiving?

I noticed while testing in TEST mode that my fans kept turning on. After 
turning on DISP, I noticed my PA temp at 37C (fans running). At 35C, 
they turn off. Then, over a period of about two minutes, the PA creeps 
up to 36 and then 37. This happens over and over again. Room temp is 
around 24 or 25C.

I cannot say I've ever noticed this before. Perhaps the 10 degree 
difference is normal, but I don't remember the fans cycling like that 
and I spend a lot of time in the shack.

Any suggestions or am I just chasing rabbits?
