[Elecraft] KPA-500 Running hot on 20m

[Edward R Cole]

OT: but I am going to add a couple cpu fans to the heat sink of my 
KXPA100 which will be installed under the backseat of my truck.  That 
will ensure a little more cooling.  The seat sets down on top of the 
fins so the fans will be positioned to feed from one end.  The 
enclosure will be drilled with multiple 3/4 inch holes for airflow.

I will only run SSB so that is low duty-cycle.  The internal overtemp 
protect will engage if it gets too hot.
