[GE] Mastr III Power amp update

[n griggs]

An update on the Mastr III power amplifier....and I HATE when this happens:

I opened the cover and checked for anything burnt or smelly - nothing but a little dust.  I wiped the dust off, connected the cables and power meter and powered the repeater up - 100 watts power!  (I HATE when that happens!)  So....i'm going to let it cook and check it every so often to see if it quits.  Oh and the M57719 is flat against the heat sink with plenty of grease on it.  Someone on another list said they had a few that weren't flat against the heatsink due to the module having a slight warp.  A little milling took care of it they said.
