Ok Paul thnaks. At least it gives me an idea what to look for. I really like
the rig. Will probably have to turn down the high power. 80 watts is to much
I think.

hi roger..  i checked eham.. majority or reviews are very good...  however
there are many comments about excessive heat from the heat sink...  several
lost output power..  some regulators and some finals..  all seem to be
related to operating on high power and heat failure..  good luck  paul w8jn
