I first had problems with my 756P with the heat, and, basically was told 
not too worry.  I taped a full immersion glass themometer on the top of the 
rig with the bulb over the vent at the front of the rig, ie just above the 
anologue meter.

Made observations, turned on the transmit for awhile when it reached 40 
celcius.  Noted that the high temp was only when the ambient temp was 
high.  That is late summer evenings when listening for awhile.

I have bought a second hand CPU fan that I plan on installing on top of the 
vent to help exhaust the heat.
