[Elecraft] Where is the proper place to send Firmware request to?

[Don Wilhelm]

It may produce an answer just as you have posted it, but it all depends 
on who is monitoring the list.
For better and more immediate attention, contact K3support at elecraft.com.
If you can be more specific about the temperature, it would help - 
'fairly hot' does not indicate much.  Too hot to hold the fingers on it 
for a minute is descriptive, as is 'too hot to touch', but if you have 
the capability for actual temperature measurements, that is very helpful.

What I can say about it is that many hams become concerned about heating 
of an area that is designed to act as a heat sink, even when operating 
well within the normal limits.
