[Icom] Heat concern about the Pro II...

Sun, 30 Jun 2002 20:03:40 -0400

Thank Adam, I just didn't remember it running that warm when I had it on a
top shelf. Now it is under a riser with about 5-6" above it and nothing
blocking the top air flow or back of the rig so I am not sure but it seems
to be running warmer. Might just be in my head hi hi. Thanks Adam, 73, Steve
