Steve,
The display backlight lamp dissipates a small amount of heat. The warm-air
convection will warm up the area around the vent directly above the display.
On my Pro II, at a 22�C (70�F) ambient, I measured 30�C (86�F) at the vent
above the display after about 2 hours in standby mode. That is nothing to be
alarmed about; the rated operating temperature range of the radio is -10 ~
+50�C (14 ~ 122�F).
